INSTALLATION STEPS 

1. While the tub is upside down, take off the plastic caps at each foot location covering screw threads. There

will be 1 washer and 1 nut underneath the plastic caps. Take each of these off.

bracket and center them evenly.

3. By hand, thread 1 of each washer and nut down onto all 4 bolt threads.
4. Taking one of the clawfeet, line the threaded hole in the bracket up with the hole on the back of the leg and

ensure that it will fit properly. The bracket can be adjusted slightly if needed.

5. When you’ve made sure the bracket is in the proper position for the installation, tighten down both nuts with a

17mm socket.

6. While the tub is upside down, take off the plastic caps at each foot location covering screw threads. There will

be 1 washer and 1 nut underneath the plastic caps.

7. Place the long bracket down so that two screws are protruding from the 2 elongated holes in the bracket

and center th e bracket evenly.

8. Thread the washer and nut down on both ends of the bracket, but only hand tighten these for now.
9. Taking one of the clawfeet, line the threaded hole in the bracket up with the hole on the back leg and ensure

that it will fit properly. The bracket can be adjusted slightly if needed. 

Repeat for opposite leg.

a 17mm s ocket.

11. Supplied is a washer and bolt for each leg. Place 1 large washer on a nut, this will be needed in later steps.

12. To attach the clawfoot, place it on the tub and line the threaded hole on the bracket to the elongated hole on the

back of the clawfoot.

13. Take the nut with a washer on it that was prepared in the steps previously and hand tighten the leg down. 

(Be 

sure the leg fits properly and is level before continuing)

 

14. Once the leg is positioned and leveled for installation, tighten the bolt down with a 19mm socket.
