Temporary
Blocks
3. Prepare the Bath
NOTICE: Provide adequate floor support.
Make sure that the subfloor is level and offers adequate support for the bath.
IMPORTANT! To ensure a successful installation, install the bath on a level finished floor.
With help, set the bath onto wood blocks in the installation location. Position the blocks at each end
of the bath.
Verify that the bath drain aligns properly with the drain pipe or elbow.
Disassemble the drain from the bath.
For a rim-mount faucet, install the faucet and trim according to the faucet and trim instructions.
Make sure that there is adequate support under the bath rim to support the faucet. Refer to the
"Prepare the Rim-Mount Faucet (Optional)" section.
IMPORTANT! The feet must extend past the bath shell and be level with each other so that the weight of
the bath is evenly supported by all four feet.
Adjust the feet so that the bottom of each foot protrudes approximately 1/8" (3 mm) to 3/16" (5
mm) from the underside of the bath.
With help, remove the wood blocks and set the bath on the floor.
Check that the bath is level and resting on all four feet. Adjust the feet as necessary.
