InstallatIon of tHE BatHtuB
and draIn
1. Clear and clean the space around where the bathtub will be positioned so
as to avoid damage to the bathtub during installation.
2. Check the level and the strength of the floor where the bathtub will be
positioned. the floor must be sufficiently level so as to allow achieve a
horizontal level by means of adjusting shims. a bathtub filled halfway
with water can weigh up to 450 kg (1000 lb) and the floor must be strong
enough to support this weight.
3. the basic installation of plumbing (pipes and drain/water supply) must be
performed by a qualified plumber prior to installation of the bathtub.
4. If the valves require installation on the outer edge of the bathtub,
follow the installation thereof as per steps 12 and 13 of this guide
(bathtub faucet installation).
5. temporarily set the bathtub in its intended location, ensuring that the drain
hole is aligned to the floor drain and then draw the contour of the bathtub
on the ground. If the floor drain is not installed yet, trace its location through
the hole of the bathtub, then move the bathtub to a safe place, so as to
install floor drain according to guidelines. Re-position the bathtub and
ensure that the trace lines are followed.
6. Check the level and adjust if necessary by screwing or unscrewing the
legs beneath the bathtub (maximum adjustment of 1 ¾’’ - 44 mm) and
ensuring that the bathtub is always resting on all four legs while minimizing
the space between the skirt and the floor (the skirt can rest on the floor but
shall in no way support the weight the bathtub).
7. lock the bathtub legs into position by tightening the adjoining nut once an
accurate acceptable level is confirmed.
8. lay the bathtub on it’s side having previously laid cardboard packaging the
ground to protect the surface of the bathtub. Be sure to use a piece of
cardboard without staples to avoid damaging the surface the bathtub.
9. temporarily install the drain assembly of the bathtub by referring to Installation
section of the drain and starting with setting of the overflow valve.
10. Place the bathtub back into position on the previously traced outline while
ensuring that the drain end fits into the floor drain and it is held in place for
the next step.
11. unscrew the rings of the overflow valve and then lift bathtub and lay it on
it’s side making sure not to move the drain, specifically the floor drain.
12. tighten the seal ring of the floor drain to the end the drain.
13. apply a bead of silicone to the entire circumference of the skirt and the
bathtub legs. We also recommend setting circle of silicone to seal the drain
and overflow.
14. Place four (4) pieces of wood ¾’’ thick inside the footprint on which to
temporarily rest the bathtub.
15. Raise the bathtub and then put it back down again, ensuring alignment over
the vertical drain, without moving the drain and making sure the bathtub
rests on the wooden blocks.
16. Remove the wooden blocks one by one to correctly place the bathtub in its
resting place aligned to the drain.
17. screw the rings of the overflow and drain by tightening properly.
18. If necessary, add silicone to the location of the pieces of wood, clean
surplus and erase the trace marks on the ground.
19. let stand at least 24 hours before use.
draIn InstallatIon
Bend the copper tubing into the area provided for this purpose, proceeding
in small increments to avoid creating creases or flexure. align the bathtub
properly between the drain hole and the overflow valve. If necessary cut the
tube to the overflow so as to adjust the positioning of the drain elbows (7) and
overflow valve (4) to the holes of the bathtub. Place the drain into the bathtub,
temporarily tighten the different parts taking care not to damage the seals and
then proceed with the remaining installation steps. It is possible that the seals
(3 & 9) are insufficient for certain bathtub models, in these cases, use silicone
to complement the seals for final installation. Make sure to tighten all parts
properly so as to prevent leakage or breakage.

coMPonEnts on tHE BatHtuB
1. Before drilling into the bathtub, verify that the valve body is not too large
to move between the bathtub and the skirt. Validate that the body will not
touch and rest against the inside of the skirt.
2. Check to ensure there is no impeding of the overflow valve after installation.
3. Validate the level of the bells on the slopes drip bathtub.
4. Mark the location of the bells on the bathtub.
5. drill with a sharp bit at least 3/8’’ (10mm) depth and a diameter slightly
greater than the valve body.
6. drill slowly so as not to melt the acrylic.
7. Install valves following the installation guide.
8. do not over tighten the taps on the bathtub in order to avoid damaging
the acrylic.
9. Connect flexible hoses to the water supply with sufficient slack. Ensure
that they do not end up pinched beneath the skirt or legs of the bathtub.
10. Perform a water test before the final stages of installation of the bathtub.
