6.
Apply a generous amount of construction adhesive to the bath feet or base.

Lift the bath into place. Carefully level the unit, ensuring that uniform support is given to all areas of the base and that no
portion of the lip is bearing weight.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE BATH BY THE RIM! DO NOT REMOVE
the 1” x 1” drain board attached to the
bottom of the tub.

the floor of the tub, not suspended by its lip.
