DRAIN INSTALLATION
DRAIN INSTALLATION (NO OVERFLOW)
1. Set the tub in the desired installation location and mark the drain hole location on the oor. If your tub is not present,
mark the location determined in the Rough-In section.
2. Move the tub away from the installation location so that the plumbing can be installed. The drain pipe should extend
approximately 6” above the nished oor.
3. When the oor is nished, measure and cut the drain pipe to the appropriate length for the type of drain that is being
used.
4. Temporarily set the tub in location and verify that the tub is level. If not, adjust the tub feet as necessary.
Note: Try to keep the bottom of the tub approximately 1/8" from the nished oor. The weight of the tub, water,
bather, etc. are fully supported by the tub feet.
5. Apply thread sealant or plumber's tape to any threaded connections that do not have a rubber sealing gasket. Apply
silicone sealant to the underside of the drain ange and thread it through the tub and into the drain pipe.
6. Tighten all connections with your adjustable wrench to secure. Do not overtighten.
7. When your tub is in place and all connections have been made, ll the tub with water to check for any leaks from the
connections and verify that the drain is working properly.
8. Finish your installation by running a bead of silicone adhesive around the base of the tub. Wipe away any excess
sealant with a damp cloth.
WASTE AND OVERFLOW DRAIN INSTALLATION
A waste-line hole, or mouse-hole, has been pre-drilled near the bottom of your tub and an overow hole has been drilled
near the tub rim with the overow assembly installed.
1. Set the tub in the desired installation location and drop a plumb line from the center of the overow drain assembly to
the oor to determine the drain hole location. Mark the drain hole location on the oor. If your tub is not present,
move on to the next step using the location determined in the Rough-In section.
2. Move the tub away from the installation location so that the plumbing can be installed with a drain pipe at the
appropriate height for the waste and overow piping.
3. Because tubs vary in size, measure your space thoroughly before installation. Trim pipes accordingly to ensure a
correct t. See the Trimming Drain Pipes section for more information.
4. Temporarily set the tub in location and verify that the tub is level. If the tub is not level, adjust the tub feet as
necessary.
Note: Try to keep the bottom of the tub approximately 1/8” from the nished oor. The weight of the tub, water,
bather, etc. is fully supported by the tub feet.
