C1 - Installation of the Magnolia Bathtub with Plastic
Front Panel
Install your bathtub equipped with a front panel into a niche. You find all
the pieces necessary for the installation in the Panelkit Front package.
1.
During the whole installation, keep the protective foil on the inside of
the bathtub to avoid damages!
2.
Set the bathtub upside down on a soft mat to protect its edges.
3.
Mark the position of the outflow siphon on the reinforced bathtub
bottom (mark center of the siphon with both horizontal and vertical
axis). Following
pic.1
girders and the siphon as well as the axis of the girders on the bathtub
bottom.
4.
Lay the girders in their place (its two openings towards the rounded
bathtub body) and distend them to fit the dimension required. Mark out
their position and location of their mounting holes on the bottom. Take
the girders off.
5.
Following
pic.2
, screw the nuts
6.
On the other end of thus prepared thread rod
106.
Then insert the thread rod into the outer opening in the bathtub support girder 1. Insert another washer
and slightly tighten the nut
the bathtub rim and set it square towards the girder. Mark position of the brace on the bathtub. Check position of
the girders and their mounting holes.
7.
Loosen the thread rod
a sufficient amount of sealing putty into the bathtub rim to balance and stabilize the brace.
8.
Use the Ø 3 mm drill bit to drill the mounting openings marked on the bottom 10 mm deep.
Attention! Use the stop when drilling, to avoid damaging the plastic bathtub bottom!
9.
Use the Ø 5.5x16 mm bolts to attach the support girders to the bathtub bottom. We recommend you to apply
the sealing putty also under the girders to level the bottom.
10.
Place the thread rod brace
the thread rod
102
and the brace
rim!
11.
Under the bathtub trim edge, there are panel holders
for the panel. In their upper part, there is shaped spring for the panel trim to be inserted in. Control and adjust if
necessary the position of both panel holders
edge, and so that the shape of the panel matches the outer trace of the bathtub.
12.
Set the bathtub into its place, check the height of the plastic panel
of the bathtub, so that its height up to the trim is equal to the height of the panel with 2-3 mm tolerance. Mark the
height up to the trim on the walls of the niche.
13.
Try now to place the panel to the mounted panel holders, insert it into the springs and balance it to match the
shape of the bathtub. Trace its floor plan on the floor, and its sides on the walls of the niche. Take the panel of,
and, if necessary, adjust the height by twisting the supportive legs. Tighten the fixing nuts on the supportive legs.
14.
Remove the bathtub from its place, and trace the trimming on the walls. Following the installation
instructions for the bathtub, dimension and attach the plastic mounting clamps on the wall.
15.
To stabilize the lower part of the panel, mount the spring
thread rod
102
. Following the floor plan of the panel, adjust the spring
thread rod. Tighten the nuts
16.
At the lateral wall, attach the panel with two of the clamps , following the
500 mm, dimension the width of the panel. Measure 15 mm from its edge, drill a mounting hole, set it with
a Ø 8 mm plug, and attach a clamp as a stop. Fill the cog of the clamp with sealing putty before you finally set
the panel in.
17.
Fit the bathtub with the outflow complex.
18.
Set the bathtub again into its final position. Hang it on the plastic clamps, as described in the installation
instruction for the bathtub. Insert and balance the plastic panel.
Seal the gaps between the bathtub and the tiles. To cover some wider gaps, it is convenient to use a plastic
19.
bathtub strip. If necessary, seal the gaps between the panel and the tiles.
