Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury, electrical shock or fire. WARNING: WHEN USING ELECTRICAL PRODUCTS, BASIC PRECUATIONS 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.
BEFORE INSTALLING: Inspect tub thoroughly. • Damage from shipping or delivery must be reported to carrier immediately. Do not install damaged tub. MTI is not responsible for damage occuring during transit. • Factory defect must be reported to factory before tub is installed. Defects or damage claimed after installation will be excluded from warranty.
Freestanding Tubs with Integral Overflow MTI Boutique freestanding tubs may be installed with the overflow postiioned in the rear or the front of the tub, however, rough-in dimensions provided below are from center of drain to the top outside edge as shown on the product specification sheet. See product specs for line drawing of each tub model.
1. Install drain assembly on tub using clear silicone under metal waste flange and on both sides of the gray rubber gasket on underside of the tub. MTI recommends using a small amount of clear silicone on the female threads of the PVC drain fitting to act as a thread sealant.

Installation and Operational Manual • Boutique Collection • SculptureStone® Tubs Installation Instructions – Alcove Tubs Due to the handcrafted nature of this product, all printed specifications have a +/- ½" tolerance and are subject to change at any time. Take all final installation dimensions from your tub before constructing the stud wall. This tub is ready for installation on a flat, level subfloor.
Note: MTI does not recommend locating the blower more than 8’ from the tub to prevent heat loss from the blower to the tub. 1” schedule 40 PVC pipe and pipe insulation may be used to help retain the warmth of air from the blower.

IMPORTANT: Side exit from the pedesal would require onsite drilling through the pedestal and should only be considered when there is no subfloor access to run the airline. MTI does not recommend an above-the-floor airline, unless the tub and outlet in pedestal are very close the wall or the airline can be concealed with nearby or surrounding cabinetry.

Care and Cleaning Instructions The ESS surface of all MTI tubs is among the highest quality surfaces available. Its hard, non-porous surface prevents dirt from accumulating and resists stains better than other materials. This tub is made of resin and natural minerals and may have minor variations in color and surface texture throughout the tub.
To verify, turn the air system on high for 4-5 minutes (you do not need to have water in the tub). Carefully feel the grey air hose where it exits the blower. It should be warm to the touch. If it is cold, please contact MTI for service.
MTI does not warrant leaks associated with improper waste and overflow installation or damages from over- filling the bath. Never leave a full bath or filling bath unattended. MTI will not be responsible for the cost of removing or reinstalling the unit, or costs associated with any adjacent materials.
