GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION ...

1. When installing the coordinating bath walls (2946BW only), additional studs may be required. Refer to those installation instructions prior to installing tub.

2. Bath walls are to be installed over stud walls.

3. Bath may only be installed in a recess installation.

4. It is recommended that the 2573 and 2574 Studio Tub be set in a small bed of mortar or grout to compensate for uneven floors. Stringers will help level tub, but will not provide adequate support.

5. Take extra care when driving nails or screws to avoid damaging the tub.

755740-100

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS:

A.) Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are

proper, plumb, and square (Fig. 1). It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain

components.

B.) Mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs at the height indicated, using a level or other suitable straight edge (Fig. 2).

C.) With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs (Fig. 3).

Fig. 1

Each alcove stud

must be plumb

and square.

A.) Position the bath within the recess

until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers. The rim of the bath

MUST NOT support weight.

B.) Check level front to back and side to

side, shim as necessary. To secure the tub to wood studs, use drywall screws

with flatwashers or roofing nails immediately above the flange of the bath.

To secure the tub to steel studs, use 4"

(102mm) drywall screws and flatwashers. (see Fig. 4)

C.) Any finish material such as tile or

wallboard must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath. Flooring will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron, also holding the tub in place.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP

Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor. Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.

Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.

Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.

FEATURES of YOUR NEW AMERICAN STANDARD ACRYLIC BATHTUB

Your new acrylic bathtub has been molded in the newest plumbing fixture material available today. Acrylics are tough durable finishes that are simple and easy to care for. The colors have been formulated to match other American Standard fixtures and enhance your choice of bathroom decorations. The high gloss surface is resistant to impact and chemicals and will retain its lasting luster with proper care and maintenance.

AFTERCARE and CLEANING

• Always fill the tub with temperate water. Excessively hot water may cause surface damage.

• Remove bath mat after use and hang to dry. Allowing bath mat to dry in the tub may cause surface damage.

• Clean after use with a mild liquid household detergent cleaner. Abrasive cleaners such as Lestoil®, Lysol® Disinfectant (spray or concentrate), or Lysol® Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner, Windex®, Mr. Clean®, Dow® Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner, or cleaning products in aerosol cans

should not be used.

HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ACRYLIC SURFACES.

• Do not use wire brushes, knives or sharp objects to remove stains, cigarette tar deposits, or other surface blemishes.

• Abrasive cleaners or powders must not be used, since they will dull the surface. If the glossy surface looses its sheen, dulled areas can be restored by rubbing with a white polishing compound and waxing with a "liquid wax."

• Do not wax areas where you walk or stand.

• Do not allow nail polish remover, acetone, dry cleaning fluid, paint remover or other solvents to come into contact with the surface.

• Clean the surrounding surface immediately after using caustic drain cleaners.

• Burning cigarettes will damage the surface.

• Should damage to the fixture occur, repairs can be made quickly and easily. Your distributor or builder can provide details.
