WARNING: This bathtub is made of a quartzite stone and resin. The tub’s weight may vary between 300 and 440 lbs
(140 and 200 kg). We recommend that the installation be done by a minimum of 2 people as a security precaution. Also make
sure to adopt the proper posture when lifting the tub.
Adhere to all local building and plumbing codes. The diagrams in this guide are not construction plans. They are visual aids.

General Instruction before Installation
IMPORTANT: Ensure to check the bathtub for proper drainage before any draining is done.
• The bathtub is shipped with the waste and matching blu·stone™drain cover.
•Blu recommends that the tub be water tested before installation is complete. Fill the tub to overow and inspect for leaks.
•Decide exactly where you wish to install the bathtub and place the tub where it is to be installed and ensure the tub is level.
Note: Use 1½" (FIP) adaptor.
• Install the basic plumbing components: water inlet and waste. These tub models require a vertical plumbing connection from
the oor.
•Shims may be required to level the tub depending on nish oor surfaces. Shims are not included. When adjusting the level
allow a slight clearance (8") between the nished oor and the apron. Note: use a level to ensure accuracy.
• Connect the bathtub drain to the waste. Hook up the water to the faucet. Check that all connections are waterproof.
NOTE: The faucet cannot be installed on the bathtub. The tub ller must be mounted either in the wall or a freestanding
oor-mounted tubller. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for installation details.
