GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your
vendor immediately. After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. Before
installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be lled with water to check for leaks that
may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling! Fittings (bath ller, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with
the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing materials are provided by others. Follow test
procedures carefully.
ATTENTION INSTALLER!
THIS TUB MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION AND LEAKS PRIOR TO ENCLOSURE OF SURROUNDING
AREAS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID WARRANTY. THIS TUB WAS WATER TESTED AT THE FACTORY AND
FOUND TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND LEAK FREE PRIOR TO SHIPPING. FREIGHT HANDLING AND JOB
SITE EXPOSURE MAY HAVE DETERIORATED THE TUB’S CONDITION. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
INSTALLER TO THOROUGHLY TEST THE UNIT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. TUBS ARE INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE
ONLY.
TEST PROCEDURES:
1. Place the tub on a at surface such as a driveway.
2. Seal the drain with tape.
3. Fill tub and allow tub to stand for ve minutes. Examine all ttings carefully for leaks.
NOTE: The overow is a plumbing device designed to prevent water from reaching a certain level in your tub.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, tape off or block the overow in any way.
4. If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, do not complete installation until problems are resolved.
DXV will not be responsible for any costs involved with removing or reinstalling the tub, or for the costs
of any surrounding materials or labor.
If you have installation or warranty questions please do not return the unit to the place of purchase. Call 800-227-2734
Always protect tub from construction damage by using a protective cover. Damage, including chips and scratches
incurred at the jobsite is excluded from warranty but may be repaired by qualied technician at the owner’s expense.
Do not stand in the tub or store materials in the tub during construction. Do not store tub in temperatures below
32 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper waste and overow installation is the responsibility of the installer. DXV does not warrant
leaks associated with improper waste and overow installation.
Check for availability of optional DXV wall tiling bead (required for recess installation).
Protect all nished surfaces of the bathtub during construction and installation using a drop cloth.

• Place the tub on a nished, level oor in the
desired location.
ª Using an erasable pencil or marker, trace the outline of
the base of the tub on the oor. (See Fig. 1)
• Using the adjustable feet on the underside of the tub,
ensure that the tub is level.
• Ensure that there is a gap between the tub base and the oor.
Gap shall not exceed 1/8" [3 mm]. (See Fig. 2 )
• Using the traced outline for reference, conrm that the
drain/waste outlet in the oor will align with the tub drain outlet.
(Tub drain outlet will be located in the center of the traced
outline. See Fig. 3)
Note: The drain/waste outlet must be installed in
accordance with all local building codes.
All drain connections must be made using an
access created beneath the tub.
• The tail piece assembly, consisting of a anged tail piece, drain
tail piece gasket and slip-joint nut used to connect the the tub
drain to the drain/waste outlet, is included with this product.
• The 1-1/2" diameter tail piece is compatible with drain provided.
(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.
• Insert the tail piece into the P-trap.
• The ange of the tail piece should be approximately 5-3/4" [145 mm] or
3" [76 mm] depending on model, above the nished oor when fully inserted
into the P-trap.
• The tail piece can be cut if necessary.

• Apply a generous bead of silicone caulking to the base of the tub.
(See Fig. 5)
• Carefully set the tub into position. Ensure that drain tail piece gasket is fully
seated against the tail piece ange.
• Connect the tail piece to the tub drain. Tighten all of the drain connections.
Remove any excess caulking where the tub meets the oor.
Note: Connecting the tail piece assembly to the drain will require access
from beneath the tub.
• Fill the tub with water and drain. Check for leaks and re-tighten 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.
FIG. 5
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 - 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.
