Drain Plumbing Installation
• Place the bathtub by raising it up 3½" with 4x4 pieces of lumber so you can have access from underneath the bottom of the tub. (fig.1)
• From the bottom of the bathtub, tighten the rings of the drain (1) to the drain (3) (don’t forget to use the seal washer in between).
• Before placing the bathtub, thread on the Female threaded adapter (2).
(Not supplied with the bathtub and must be provided by your plumber).
• Ensure alignment of the drain (3) to the expansion joint (1).
• Move the bathtub down slowly by removing the pieces of lumber.
(fig.2)
• Fill the bathtub with water to test and let drain out.
• From underneath the tub, make sure that all the joints are tested and watertight.
• Fill the spaces with silicone.
• Let bathtub stand for at least 24 hours before use.
