1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your bath
for specific floor loading requirements.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
This bath should be installed in an alcove installation.
When constructing the framing, allow for the thickness of the finished wall materials.
CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. Provide
adequate support under the feet.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing according to the roughing-in information packed with the bath.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies and check for
leaks.
Unless the bath is elevated for an above-floor drain installation, a hole will need to be cut to
accommodate the drain connections. Refer to the roughing-in information.
NOTE: For corner installations, cut a hole large enough to allow for the diagonal positioning of the drain.
2. Prepare the Bath
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron baths are extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help to
carefully lift or move the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. Provide
adequate support under the feet.
Install the drain to the bath according to the drain manufacturer's instructions. Do not connect the
trap at this time.
Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath. Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the bath.
