6. Level the Overflowing Bath (without level)
NOTICE: You do not need electrical power for the unit for the following leveling procedure.
Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap, and connect the drain to the trap according to the drain
manufacturer's instructions.
Close the drain, and plug or cover the suction cover to temporarily make them watertight.
Use a hose and fresh water supply to fill the bathing well to the bathing well rim.
Observe the water level in relation to the bathing well rim, and use the wrench to turn the
adjustable feet up or down as needed to obtain a uniform water level at each of the four corners.
Open the drain, and unplug the suction cover to drain the bathing well.
IMPORTANT! Allow adequate access to each of the four adjustable feet until after you have test run your
bath.

7. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the drain connections.
IMPORTANT! Choose a fill spout which will provide adequate air space above the bathing well rim of the
bath. You may need to build up the deck material to obtain adequate air space because the outer rim may
be lower than the bathing well rim. In addition, if you plan to install a deck-mounted, hand-held shower,
the diverter vacuum breaker must maintain a minimum 1" (2.5 cm) air gap above the outer rim.
NOTE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.
If you have not yet done so, connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer's
instructions.
Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions. Do not install the
faucet trim until instructed.
Make sure all butterfly valves and supply connections are tightened securely.
Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply connections for leakage.
Run water into the bathing well, and check the drain connections for leakage.
