• Place the tub on a nished, level oor in the desired location. See Fig. 1.
• Using the adjustable feet on the underside of the tub, ensure
that the tub is level.
• For the Freestanding tub with base, ensure that there is a gap
between the tub base and the oor. Gap shall not exceed
3/16" (5 mm). See Fig. 2.
• Tighten the jamb nuts on the feet to ensure that they do not loosen. See
Photo 1.
• For the Freestanding tub with feet, check that decorative feet have enough
clearance to t in the locations as shown in Fig. 3.
Note: the feet are stamped on the inside with the letter A or B.
• Using a pencil, transfer the location of the holes in the leveling feet
to the oor. Min. 1 hole/foot.
• Remove the tub and drill 1/8" holes in
the oor where marked.

FREESTANDING SOAKING TUB
GENERAL INFORMATION
Rough in dimensions For critical dimensions, we suggest taking the measurements of the actual tub
on site. All printed specications are +/- 1/2 inch (13 mm) and subject to change without notice.
An access panel must be provided to facilitate the connection of the drain to the drain/waste outlet. Access must be
made through the oor below the tub.
FIXTURES/ FITTINGS
No xtures/ttings can be mounted on the tub deck of freestanding tubs. Floor or wall-mounted xtures/ttings 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/ttings. Be careful to ensure that 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/ttings must be anchored to the tub drain for stabilization. The waste and
overow on these 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.

• The tail piece assembly, consisting of tail piece, drain strainer
gasket and slip-joint nut is used to connect the tub drain to
the drain/waste outlet. See Fig. 4.
• Slide the slip-joint nut over tail piece towards the anged end as shown.
• Slide the P-trap slip-joint nut and seal over the tail piece as shown.
• Assemble tail piece and P-trap. Cut tail piece if necessary.
For reference the ange of the tail piece should be approximately
2-1/2" (64 mm) above the nished oor when fully inserted
into the P-trap.
• Apply a generous bead of tub adhesive
to the base of the tub and leveling feet.
See Photo 5.
FOR THE FREESTANDING TUB WITH FEET,
ONLY THE LEVELING FEET NEED TO HAVE
TUB ADHESIVE APPLIED.
• Carefully set the tub into position. Ensure that drain strainer gasket is fully seated against
the tail piece ange.
• Connect the tailpiece to the tub drain. Tighten all of the drain connections. Remove any
excess caulking where the tub meets the oor and allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours.
Note: Connecting the tailpiece assembly and the drain will require access from
beneath the tub.
• For the Freestanding tub with feet, install lag screws thru the leveling feet into the holes drilled in the oor in step # 1.
• Fill the tub with water and drain. Check for leaks and re-tighten connections as necessary.
• For the Freestanding tub with base, apply a bead of Tub & Tile caulk around the bottom edge of the tub where it meets the oor.
• Remove any excess caulking.
• For the Freestanding Tub with Feet, apply a bead of silicone to the bottom of the decorative feet & install them on the tub
in the locations shown in Fig 3.
• Apply a bead of silicone to the foot covers and attach them to the feet.
• Remove any excess caulking.
