lift or move the bath.
With help, position the bath on the finished floor exactly where it will be installed.

Along the edge of the bath, draw a pencil line 10″(254 mm) in each direction from the center mark.

around the drain center location mark.
Position the faucet supply lines. Cap the supplies and check for leaks.
