Before You Begin

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Cast iron baths are extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help to
carefully lift or move the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. Provide
adequate support under the feet.
NOTICE: Make sure the floor will support 2000 lbs. (907kg). This is the combined weight of the bath,
water, and two bathers.
Carefully plan the moving of the bath into the installation area. This bath is heavy and will not
easily fit through doorways.
Unpack and inspect the bath for damage. Return the bath to the carton until you are ready to
install.
Provide properly dimensioned framing.
Install the bath to an adequately supported, level subfloor.
These instructions are for both freestanding and drop-in installations. Follow only the instructions
that apply to your particular installation.
Before installation, ensure proper access to the final plumbing connections.
This bath conforms to ANSI Standard A112.19.1. All dimensions are nominal.
