IMPORTANT:
The Mirolin
Acrylic Bathtub was carefully
inspected and packed for shipment. You should check
your unit and if there are any problems contact your dealer
before installation.
Protect the bathtub and fittings from dirt and damage by
leaving the polyethylene protective film in place until
installation and other related construction is complete.
INSTALLATION NOTES
PLUMBING
Follow Local Plumbing Codes
Locate water supply lines for faucet and spout as required.
Install the deck mounted faucet and fill spout as per local
plumbing codes.
Adjust or install waste or drain plumbing to the required
dimensions off the back and end wall studs. (See separate
specification sheet).
Install drain and overflow plumbing to the tub (refer to
drain overflow manual for these installation instructions).
Note that the drain-overflow assembly may extend below
the bottom of the bath and may require a cutout in the floor.
TESTING
Test the installation after completing the plumbing,
but before enclosing the bath and finishing the
surroundings.
Fill the bath with water and leave it for one hour to
ensure that the adjustment of the drain-overflow
assembly is correct, and that there are no leaks.
Mirolin Industries Corp. will not be liable for any kind
of damages as a result of not water testing the unit
prior to use by end user.
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT
The floor under the bath must be capable of supporting at
2
2
least 50 lb./ft. (240 kg/m ) with the weight concentrated at
the 5 legs of the tub.
The rim of the bath is not designed to carry weight and
should be supported as shown in figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Any finishing material that overlaps or touches the bath
must be fully self-supporting.
The bath must be level along the top edges in both
directions to ensure proper drainage.
If required use hardwood shims and /or trim the legs to
level the bath on an uneven floor.
Bathtub Installation on an Unlevel floor:
The middle leg will require shimming the same as the other 4
legs of the tub if required. The placement of the shims varies
and is dependent upon how much and in what direction the floor
is out of level.
Bathtub installation on a Level floor:
The middle leg does not required any shims. it is free floating 3
mm ( 1/8”) off the floor. When the tub is filled with water the
middle leg bottoms out. This applies to drop-in tubs only.
Skirted tubs have pre-fabricated base and the middle leg is
level with the other 4 legs of the wood base.
INSTALLATION
The style of the tub and the design of the bathroom will
determine the method of installation.
Tubs with a rolled edge all around can be installed in an island
(sunken) or against the bathroom wall(s).
For an island installation refer to the Figure 6.
If the tub with a rolled edge is installed against a wall we
recommend the use of a Tile Lip Extrusion Kit as shown in
Figure 3.
Tub with an extended flange molded on the edges is to be
installed against a back and two end walls. Refer to Figure 5.
For some models an optional detachable apron is available for
the front of the tub. Refer to specifications for details and to
separate instructions for installation.
Note that tubs which are installed in an alcove using a
detachable front apron, that is tubs only supported on 3 sides,
must have a support installed in the center of the front edge.
Install the support so that it does not interfere with the
positioning of the apron.
