Acrylic Freestanding Tubs Important Safety Instructions This manual contains information and instructions for proper handling, operation and maintenance of your MTI bathtub.

WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, BASIC PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: Do not permit children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised by an adult at all times.
6. If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, do not complete installation until problems are resolved. MTI will not be responsible for leaks claimed after the tub is installed, nor any costs involved with removing or reinstalling the tub or the costs of any surrounding materials or labor. See troubleshooting section of this manual, call for assistance at 800-783-8827 or email service@mtibaths.com.

Rough-In Chart For Freestanding Tubs With Direct Tee Drain MTI RECOMMENDS USING CLEAR 100% SILICONE SEALANT. DO NOT USE PLUMBER’S PUTTY. Tub models with direct-tee toe tap drain kits are designed to install with tub drain aligned directly above drain pipe.
• Thread the PVC drain fitting onto the waste flange. MTI recommends using a small amount of clear silicone on the threads of the PVC drain fitting to act as a thread sealant. Tighten until it seats, plus one quarter turn.
*NOTE: Air blowers do not require a bonding conductor. ¹MTI does not warrant leaks associated with improper drain or valve installation and will not be responsible for any costs involved with removing or reinstalling the tub. Failure to check floor for flat & level surface, or properly water test the tub & drain, which could will result in improper drainage of the bath, is the reponsibility of the installer.
A keypad (on/off device) installed remote of the tub must always be connected with one continuous cable. Never use a spliced or coupled data cable. MTI can provide a data cable up to a 12’ length. Cables in excess of 12’ may be acquired from local electronics suppliers.
4. Do not crush or kink any of the connections. 5. Extensions: Do not attempt to disconnect any cables extending from the tub. Extensions are available through MTI’s Technical Service Department. See page 8 for more details. 9 / mtibaths.com...
Do not attempt to disconnect or splice Radiance® or Chromatherapy cables installed on or extending from the tub. Extensions are available through MTI’s Service Department. See page 8 for more details. All system components must be accessible for future servicing. Test prior to completing installation.
