To ensure proper installation of the Swiss Madison Corner Alcove Bathtub with Apron, please follow these steps:
1. Inspect the bathtub for any damages that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Familiarize yourself with the plumbing and building codes in your state and local area to ensure compliance.
3. Measure the dimensions of your bathtub before installation to ensure a proper fit.
4. It is recommended to hire a licensed professional to install all Swiss Madison products.
5. Read the installation and maintenance instructions thoroughly before starting the installation process. Use the appropriate tools and personal safety accessories for your protection.
6. Due to its fragility, it is recommended to have two people handle and install the bathtub.
7. Ensure that all wood studs and supports are properly installed.
8. Verify that all necessary plumbing is installed by a certified plumber.
9. Note that the floor drain and trap are not included and may need to be installed separately.
10. Use a level to ensure that the tub is level by placing it across the bottom surface of the apron and the adjustable feet. Adjust the feet as necessary to achieve a level position.
11. Mark the stud locations and pre-drill Ø5 mm holes on the top flange. If the stud is not flush to the flange, use a shim to fill any gaps and prevent cracking.
12. Lay a mortar bed and carefully lower the bathtub into the desired location. Secure the tub by screwing the flange into the pre-drilled holes.
13. Place a drop cloth in the bathtub and stand inside it to press it into the floor when securing it to the wall studs.
14. Once the bathtub is in place, securely fasten and connect the waste and overflow plumbing fixtures. Check for any leaks.
15. Use latex/acrylic sealant, gasket, or non-staining plumber's putty to seal between the drain and the bathtub. Seal all edges with silicone caulking to prevent water damage.
