Swanstone BT-3060L_R - Installation - Manual (Page 11)

Plumbing
All supply lines to the valves, tub spout, and shower
riser must be located prior to bathtub installation. This
bathtub accepts a standard 16" adjustable drain and
overflow fitting.
For remodeling, removal of a portion of the subfloor may
be necessary. Replace the subfloor prior to bathtub
installation. NEVER install the bathtub over open floor
joists. The bathtub must be installed on a solid, level
subfloor.
1. Trial fit the bathtub in the stud pocket. Measure and
verify drain and supply line locations.
Note: Make sure the bathtub fits the framework
enclosure properly. If necessary make any adjustments
to the framework to ensure a correct fit.
2. Remove the bathtub and install the plumbing supply
lines, as well as waste and overflow lines, in
accordance with the plumbing manufacturer’s
installation instructions.
Bathtub Installation
Proper installation requires the bathtub to be set into a
bed of mortar-type material (Quikrete). Improper
installation will void the warranty.
1. Refer to the plumbing fixture manufacturers
instructions. Install any portion of the drain or
overflow hardware required, prior to bathtub
installation.
2. Make sure the protective plastic liner is in the
bathtub and/or place cardboard, or similar
scratch-resistant material, in the bottom of the
bathtub to prevent possible damage during further
construction
The bathtub clips must be installed on the bathtub flange
prior to the bathtub being inserted into the stud pocket.
3. Snap the six bathtub clips onto the 1-1/2" bathtub
flange. Once installed, the clips are designed to
slide on the bathtub flange to easily locate clips in lin
with the stud locations.
Note: To properly secure the bathtub, the flange clips
must be attached to solid framework. When installing
the bathtub over existing moisture resistant wall-board,
(example 3) be sure to locate the wall studs and install
the flange clips at those points, as shown.
