accommodate the drain connections.
Plumbing
Route the plumbing according to the rough-in information.
Cap the supplies and check for leaks.
Flooring
Apply water-resistant sealant to the subfloor. This will reduce the risk of water damage.

Prepare the Bath (cont.)
NOTICE: To ensure the bath does not rest on the base trim, the bolts on the bottom of the adjustable feet
must have a minimum height of 5/8″(1.6 cm).
Place protective floor covering or throw rug near the installation area. This will prevent damage to
the floor and bath when the bath is set down.
With help, remove the bath from its carton and place it on top of blocks on the protective floor
covering.
Install the adjustable feet to the underside of the bath according to the instructions packed with the
feet.
Attach the drain and overflow fittings to the bath according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not connect the trap at this time.

3. Install the Base Trim
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Wear personal protective equipment and obtain sufficient help
to carefully lift or move the bath. Cast iron baths are extremely heavy. If the cast iron bath is not
lifted properly, personal injury may occur.
NOTICE: Do not use the wooden float to support the bath. The bath must be supported by the bath feet
only.
NOTICE: Ensure the rough plumbing and finished flooring are installed before installing the base trim.
NOTE: The float has foam pads that help keep the float from moving after installation. These pads may
come off during installation. If these pads come off during installation, ensure they are inserted into the
space between the bath and the float.
Place the wooden float on the finished floor according to the rough-in dimensions.
The slot on the float should align properly with the drain pipe and floor drain hole.
With help, lift the bath over the float and carefully set it in place, aligning the drain pipe with the
slot on the float.
Ensure the bath sits properly over the float. The inner ridge of the float should fit inside the bath on
all sides.

does not slide easily to fit in place under the rim of the bath. If it does not fit, adjust the height of the
brackets.
Ensure the bath is positioned properly in the installation area. The bath drain should align with the
floor drain.
Position the overflow cap over the overflow pipe by inserting the pins into the slots near the bottom
of the bath.

5. Complete the Installation
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. A watertight seal must exist on all bath drain connections.
The watertight seal will prevent property damage.
NOTE: When installed, the base trim accessories are designed to leave a 1/8″(3 mm) gap between a level
finished floor and the accessory. This gap allows access to the adjustable feet for leveling the bath.
Connect the Plumbing
Connect the trap to the drain.
Install the bath faucet according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions.
Open the hot and cold water supplies. Check all connections for leaks.
Run water into the bath. Check the drain connections for leaks.
Level the Bath
Lift the float to access the leveling bolts at the bottom of the four adjustable feet.
Using the wrench provided, turn the leveling bolts to adjust the height.
Verify the bath is: (1) level across the top of the bath, (2) plumb along the drain side, and (3) resting
on all four feet.
Level the Float
Lift the float and turn the leveling bolts with your fingers. Adjust the four leveling bolts until
spacing between the bath and the float is uniform around the entire bath.
