STEP 1
Adjust the bath feet until the bath tub base is 8mm above the oor
when the oor is nished. This can be done by turning the feet bolts
accordingly. When measuring from the unnished oor, ensure to
take the oor nishing (e.g. tile) thickness into consideration.
STEP 2
Mark the oor and outline of the bath, at nal installation position
with a marking pencil. Ensure to trace the outline of the at/tiling
ange side of the bath on the wall.
STEP 3
If using footlocker option, simply drill and secure the footlockers to
the oor where the two back feet of the bath will be positioned on
nal installation. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3.
STEP 4
Carefully tilt bath on its side and use Flexi-Dinger to connect the
waste outlet to the drain, as illustrated in Figure 4. Make sure to cut
the Flexi-Dinger to correct length for ease of installation and to
prevent it from bowing upward, as this will result in drainage issue.
Be sure to protect the bath surface. Damage during installation is
not covered by warranty.
STEP 5
Slide the bath into the wall. Ensure that the bath back feet glide into
the footlockers. Refer to Figure 5.

CLARK ACRYLIC FREESTANDING BATHS
All our products are made from sanitaryware grade acrylic. It resists
chipping, will not rust and has excellent heat retention properties. Its high
gloss nish has natural slip resistance.
All dimensions are in millimeters and are subject to normal manufacturing
variations. Therefore, Clark reserves the right to vary specications
without notice.
CLEANING YOUR BATH
A) To preserve the polished surface, after using your bath, clean
with soft cloth and warm soapy water to wash away any body
oils or soap residue that forms a ring tide mark.
B) As a weekly cleaner we recommend warm, soapy water. Do
not use powders, pastes, cream cleaners, thinners, window
cleaning sprays or dry cleaning liquid, etc.
C) Stubborn marks or ne scratches may be polished out with
Brasso.
D) When coloured essentials oils are used, rst test that the
colour won’t stain your bath. Always add oils into a bath full
of water. Never pour them into an empty bath.
