1 2 3

Check the tub thoroughly for
shipping damage, report any
apparent damage to the location
that furnished the tub and request
their advice on continuing with
the installation.

4 5 6

Locate the tub in position and mark
a joist so that a 2x4 stringer can be
nailed in place. The stringer will be
located under the flange against the
wall. Nail in place the 2x4 support.
Re-position the tub and check for
level, both front to back and left
to right.

Protect this bathtub during
installation and construction by
using this corrugated container as
indicated. Cut along the dotted lines
and place the corrugated protector
over the top and front of the tub.
The center cut-out drops into the
center of the tub.

It may be necessary to shim the tub
to achieve a good level condition.
Only small shims should be used in
conjunction with the bathtub’s own
support pad.

Note:There will be a small gap
between the apron panel and
the floor to allow for tile,
carpeting, etc. Caulking could
be used to seal this gap.

After measuring the dimensions of
the product, frame the construction
area.

Overflow and drain assembly,
faucet and the shower head
should be installed to the
manufacturers specifications.
Over-tightening the drain can
damage the tub.

CARE AND CLEANING

Clean with warm water, a soft cloth
and mild detergent. Never use
abrasive scouring powders,
cleansers or pads.

AMERICAN STANDARD ONE-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

If inspection of this American Standard plumbing product, within one year after its initial installation, confirms that it is defective in
materials or workmanship, American Standard will repair or, at its option, exchange the product for a similar model.

This warranty does not apply to local building code compliance. Since local building codes vary considerably, the purchaser of
this product should check with a local building or plumbing contractor to insure local code compliance before installation.

This warranty shall be void if the product has been moved from its initial place of installation; if it has been subjected to faulty

American Standard's option to repair or exchange the product under this warranty does not cover any labor or other costs of
removal or installation, nor shall American Standard be responsible for any other incidental or consequential damages

attributable to a product defect or to the repair or exchange of a defective product, all of which are expressly excluded
from this warranty. (Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties, so this exclusion

may not apply to you.)

This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other statutory rights that vary from state to state or from province to
province, in which case this warranty does not affect such statutory rights.

For service under this warranty, it is suggested that a claim be made through the contractor or dealer from or through whom the
