Note that the typical recess is 1527 x 813mm (60 1/8 x 32”). 229 x 305mm (9 x 12”) hole in sub floor for drain, centered 365mm (14 3/8) as shown. Locate studs as required, then ensure rough opening dimensions are proper and supports are plumb and square. Install 51 x 102mm (2 x 4") stringer, as shown (356mm [14”] off floor).

Position bathtub within the recess, check level, front to back,

side to side. Also check drain clearance hole in sub floor. To secure the tub, use roofing nails immediately above the rear flange of the tub. Caution: Take extra care when driving nails to avoid damaging the tub. The tile or similar finished floor will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron also holding the tub in place.

LEVELED SUPPORT STRINGER

Install the overflow and drain assembly onto the tub per manufacturer's instructions.

Be certain to apply a bead of putty on the underside of drain (part "A") in order to ensure a water tight seal between the tub and drain. Remove excess putty after installing drain on tub.
