Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron baths are extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help to
carefully lift or move the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. Provide adequate
support under the feet.
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Carefully inspect the bath for damage before installing.
Ensure proper access to the final plumbing connections before installing the bath.
This guide includes instructions for both freestanding and drop-in installations. Follow the
instructions that apply to your particular installation.
Provide properly-dimensioned framing for drop-in installations.
Install the bath to an adequately supported, level subfloor. Use metal shims if the floor is uneven.
To simplify future maintenance, ensure all plumbing connections around the bath are easily
accessible.
This bath conforms to ASME A112.19.1./CSA B45.2. All dimensions are nominal.

1. Prepare the Site
NOTE: Make sure the floor will support a minimum of 1140 lbs. (517 kg). This is the combined weight of
the water-filled bath with one bather.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath.
Verify the subfloor is flat and level.
For Drop-in or Raised-Deck Installations:
Frame the floor or construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing according to the roughing-in information.
Ensure there is a 1/16″ (2 mm) gap between the finished deck/floor surface and the rim so the bath
will not rest on the rim. Carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material.
For Freestanding Installations:
Install the finished flooring and wall materials.
For All Installations:
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information.
Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.
