For remodeling, removal of a portion of the subfloor may be
necessary. Replace the subfloor prior to bathtub installation.
NEVER install the bathtub over open floor joists. The bathtub
must be installed on a solid, level subfloor.

Bathtub Installation
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Proper installation requires the bathtub to be set into a bed of
mortar-type material (Quikrete). Improper installation will void
the warranty.
1. Refer to the plumbing fixture manufacturers instructions.
Install any portion of the drain or overflow hardware
required, prior to bathtub installation.
2. Make sure the protective plastic liner is in the bathtub and/
or place cardboard, or similar
scratch-resistant material, in the bottom of the bathtub to
prevent possible damage during further construction.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
If installed with the Nextile wall kit, don't use the bathtub
clips. Skip the below steps and fasten the bathtub flanges
directly to the studs (without the clips).
The bathtub clips must be installed on the bathtub flange prior

to the bathtub being inserted into the stud pocket.
3. Snap the six bathtub clips onto the 1-1/2" bathtub flange.
Once installed, the clips are designed to slide on the
bathtub flange to easily locate clips in lin with the stud
locations.
Note: To properly secure the bathtub, the flange clips must be
attached to solid framework. When installing the bathtub over
existing moisture resistant wall-board, (example 3) be sure to locate
the wall studs and install the flange clips at those points, as shown.
