INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:
Immediately after receiving the bathtub and removal of packing, INSPECT
the unit for freight damage. Any claims for damage, whether apparent or
hidden, must be made to the carrier immediately in order for them to
assume all associated costs. Should inspection reveal any defect in the
finish, do not install the bath. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after
the bathtub is installed is excluded from the warranty.The warranty
DOES NOT cover labor or materials to remove or reinstall the bathtub.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, CHECK TO ENSURE THAT:
➢The installation will be in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and
local building codes and regulations.
➢The unit is the correct model and there is no shipping damage.
➢The installer has read and thoroughly understands "notice" or "warning" tags
on the bathtub.
➢The tub is free of leaks (see "Testing System Operation")
➢All necessary precautions have been taken to keep the tub protected during
installation.
➢The finished floor is is installed and level in both directions.
ROUGH-IN:
➢Using the specifications provided determine the correct location for the
drain assembly.
➢The trap should be well supported to eliminate the possibility of shifting.
➢Terminate with a 11/2" coupling adaptor 2" below the finished floor
➢Apply clear adhesive silicone to the outside of the 11/2" TY seal (provided
with the drain assembly) and slide into the coupling adaptor.
➢A minimum 12" x 12" opening for blower access is required. Must be
covered with a decorative return grill to provide sufficient air movement.
BATHTUB AND DRAIN INSTALLATION:
➢Check to see that the finished floor is level in both directions where the tub is to be
located.
➢Clean the drain hole area in preparation of setting the drain.The area
should be dry and free of any debris and oils.
➢Apply a bead of clear adhesive silicone around the drain collar and pass it
through the drain hole.
➢Apply a generous bead of silicone to the drain collar and surrounding area on the
underside of the tub and secure with the gasket and locking nut provided.
➢Clean any excess silicone from the tub’s interior.
➢Using the nut and gasket provided, assemble the tailpiece to the end of the
drain (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
➢Pass the plug and chain screw through the center of the overflow cover and
thread the locking bar onto the end.
➢Tighten screw until the overflow cover is locked firmly against the tub wall
(DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
➢Apply clear adhesive silicone to the inside of the TY seal (below the floor)
to provide lubrication and create a bond. Set the bathtub in place with the
tailpiece inserted into the TY seal below the floor. Check to ensure it is level
in both directions.

BATHTUB AND DRAIN INSTALLATION: (continued)
➢Pre-drill the tile flange on the centers of each framing stud. Secure the
tub to the wall using drywall screws or galvanized roofing nails.
(DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN)
➢Fill the tub with water to the overflow and then drain while inspecting the
waste connections below the floor for leaks. Access from below the floor
will be necessary for this step.
➢Run a bead of tub and tile caulk around the bottom edge of the bathtub
where it meets the finished floor. Wipe away any excess caulk with a wet
paper towel.
➢Cover the bathtub surface with a bathtub liner or other form of
protection until construction is completed.
➢If further assistance is required, please contact Product Support at1-800-
927-2120 (8am-7pm EST).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
➢Airtub Blower: 120 volt / 15 amp GFCI protected, dedicated line.
➢To test the GFCI, do the following: (1) Plug power cord(s) into electrical
outlet (2) Push the test button; check that the power has been
interrupted, and (3) Push to reset button; check that the power has been
restored.
➢IF THE GFCI DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY DURING THE TEST,
THERE IS A GROUND CURRENT FLOWING, WHICH INDICATES
THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
DO NOT USE THE BATHTUB, DISCONNECT THE BATHTUB
IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE THE POWER SOURCE SERVICED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNE.L.
CLEAN-UP AFTER INSTALLATION:
➢When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleaners as they
may scratch and dull the surface. Use warm water and a liquid non-
abrasive detergent to clean the surface.
➢Stubborn stains, paint, or tar can be removed with turpentine based
cleaner such as “Goof Off ”. Do not allow cleaners containing petroleum
distillates to remain in contact with the bathtub surface for long periods
of time. Plaster can be removed by scraping with a wood edge. Do not
use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools. One of the
powder-type detergents may be used on a damp cloth to provide mild
abrasive action to remove the residual plaster.
TESTING SYSTEM OPERATION:
➢Remove all debris and residue before filling th tub with water.
➢Fill the tub with water approximately halfway and examine the tub and
system carefully for leaks.
➢Check all three functions of the airtub system in accordance with the
operating instructions.
➢Allow water to sit for 10 minutes and check for leaks.
➢Open drain, empty tub, and wipe up excess water with a soft damp
sponge.
