GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your
vendor immediately. After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. Before
installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be lled with water to check for leaks that
may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling! Fittings (bath ller, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with
the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing materials are provided by others. Follow test
procedures carefully.
ATTENTION INSTALLER!
THIS TUB MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION AND LEAKS PRIOR TO ENCLOSURE OF SURROUNDING
AREAS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID WARRANTY. THIS TUB WAS WATER TESTED AT THE FACTORY AND
FOUND TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND LEAK FREE PRIOR TO SHIPPING. FREIGHT HANDLING AND JOB
SITE EXPOSURE MAY HAVE DETERIORATED THE TUB’S CONDITION. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
INSTALLER TO THOROUGHLY TEST THE UNIT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. TUBS ARE INTENDED FOR
INDOOR USE ONLY.
TEST PROCEDURES:
1. Place the tub on a at surface such as a driveway.
2. Seal the drain.
3. Fill tub and allow tub to stand for ve minutes. Examine all ttings carefully for leaks. NOTE: The overow is a
plumbing device designed to prevent water from reaching a certain level in your tub. DO NOT, under any
circumstances, tape off or block the overow in any way.
4. If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, do not complete installation until problems are
resolved. DXV by American Standard will not be responsible for any costs involved with removing or
reinstalling the tub, or for the costs of any surrounding materials or labor.
If you have installation or warranty questions please do not return the unit to the place of purchase. Call 800-227-2734.
Always protect tub from construction damage by using a protective cover. Damage, including chips and scratches
incurred at the jobsite is excluded from warranty but may be repaired by qualied technician at the owner’s expense.
Do not stand in the tub or store materials in the tub during construction. Do not store tub in temperatures below 32
degrees Fahrenheit.
Protect all nished surfaces of the bathtub during construction and installation using a drop cloth.

No xtures can be mounted on the tub deck of freestanding tubs. Floor or wall-mounted xtures are required.
Wall-Mounted - The position of the tub and the reach of the spout are critical. Pay special attention to the
spout reach when choosing your xtures. Be careful to ensure the spout will extend out far enough to clear
the tub ange and the falling water will not hit too high up on the side wall of the tub and splash.
Floor-Mounted - Some freestanding xtures must be anchored to the tub drain for stabilization. The waste
and overow on freestanding tubs are concealed so anchoring to the overow pipe (or tub structure) is not
possible. Many kits (with minor modication) can be mounted to the wall (rather than the drain pipe) for stabilization.
