NOTE: Provide adequate oor support. The tub is heavy. Obtain sufcient help and use
suction cups/lifting straps to carefully lift or move tub.
• Make sure the factory-installed drain connections
to the tub have not become loose during shipping.
Tighten as needed to prevent leakage.
• Carefully place the tub on the nished level oor
in the desired location and over the drain/waste outlet.
(Fig. A)
• Mark the desired tub position or location on the oor with
an erasable marker, then remove the tub from the oor and
drain/waste outlet.
• Place template over drain/waste outlet (keeping centered
within the tubs marked area) and mark oor where 2 tub
anchors will be installed in oor, then drill marked oor
locations (approx. 2 3/4" (70 mm)) (Fig. B)
• Place inserts into drilled oor followed by screwing
in the tub anchors. (Fig. C)
• Carefully place tub back on the nished oor,
over the drain/waste outlet and tub anchors. (Fig. D)
• Check to ensure the tub is level in several directions.
Adjustable feet under the tub can be used to further
level the tub. Also check that there is a slight gap
between the tub base and the oor. Gap shall not
exceed 1/8" (3 mm).
NOTE: The drain/waste outlet must be installed in accordance
with all local building codes.

• Fill the tub with water and check for leaks. Re-tighten any loose connections as necessary.
• Apply a bead of Tub & Tile Caulk around the bottom
edge of the tub where it meets the oor. Remove
any excess caulking.
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 - 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.
