GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
• Set tub into final location and use a level on the top of the tub to
ensure ALL SIX leveling feet are in contact with the floor. The unit
must be level for proper operation and to ensure door seal will not
leak. Do not remove the leveling feet! No additional support or
bedding is required. If your tub was ordered with a factory installed
tile flange, attach tile flange to studs, fill in void at edge of tub with
clear silicone.
(See diagram to the right)
• Secure tub frame to studs using metal straps (not provided).
• Complete drain installation and test. This tub comes with a cable style drain that attaches to the small door
drain. Important Note! There is 3/8” flexible tubing pre-installed to the door drain. This tubing MUST be
connected to the small output on the drain shoe. Failure to make this critical connection will result in leaking
not covered under warranty. Completely install the drain assembly and check for leaks prior to the final
installation. MTI Baths is not responsible for leaks associated with improper installation or testing of drain.
Additional installation information for walk-in tubs equipped with
optional valve package
Package includes hot & cold valves, hand shower, diverter and backflow
prevention device which are factory-installed. The unit is also equipped with
a Virtual Spout located on the side wall of the tub. This takes the place of a
traditional filler spout.
Simply connect your incoming hot and cold water lines to the corresponding
hot and cold rough in valves. The tub will fill through the Virtual Spout port
located on the inside wall of tub.
• Check all fixtures for proper operation and leaks.
• Plug in the pump or blower. Fill tub to normal level and test for leaks and operation.
Installation Instructions for Optional Extension Kit
• Complete installation of tub and water test according to directions.
• Build a simple stud wall to fill the gap between the tub and the existing structure.
• The wall will need to be measured very carefully. If your wall is too wide or deep,the extension panels will
not install flush with the tub. The height of the wall should be the height of your finished tub, less the
thickness of the top extension piece (approx. 1 ¾”). The depth of the wall should be the depth of the tub,
less the thickness of the front removable panel. Please measure all materials on site to ensure a perfect fit.
• Once wall is built to the correct specifications, the top and front panels can be adhered to the framing
using construction adhesive. If desired, run a small bead of clear silicone between the extension kit and tub.
