General Information

Understanding Framework Construction

The BT-3060 Bathtub is approximately 60” wide,
30” deep, and 16” high. It features a 1-1/2” threshold
flange and special clips for secure attachment to the
framework enclosure.

Dimensions are approximate sizes only. Measure the
actual bathtub prior to building the framework to
determine the exact size. Add 3/8” to the width
measurement and at least 3/16” or more to the depth
measurement of the bathtub to correctly size the
framework opening.

Note: Temporarily remove the protective plastic liner
and inspect the bathtub for damage. If damage is
found, immediately report it to the store of purchase.
Replace the plastic liner during bathtub installation and
during construction of the framework.

Swan Corp cannot anticipate every possible installation
situation or condition. The variety of installations
possible for this bathtub kit may require procedures
other than those shown. Plan ahead to ensure that
framework construction is correctly sized, plumb, and
square. Check local building code before constructing
the framework enclosure.

The key to a good bathtub installation is proper fit within
the stud wall framework. Remember these important
points to ensure a smooth installation.

• Completely read and understand this manual and
the appropriate bathtub solid surface wall panel
installation manual prior to beginning the project.

• Measure the actual bathtub and use these
dimensions to build or modify the stud wall
framework to fit. Up to a 3/16” gap between the
framework and the Swanstone bathtub flange is
acceptable.

Installation Options

 The bathtub can be installed with the flange directly

against the stud wall framework and 1/2”
moisture-resistant wall board installed above the
bathtub flange.

 The bathtub can be installed with the flange directly

against the stud wall framework and a Swan
