I have a 3060 TFS NCA 6606 tub of yours . I wanted to ask if I needed to install a ledger board. If I am naming it correctly the board that is mounted on the studs of the wall that sits under the lip of the tub. If so how do I measure this? I’m sure you don’t want all the weight of the tub and water supported by this board of I miss measure and the bottom support feet are not touching the floor. I’m not a plumber but I am installing it myself. Thank you for your help

Yes, the Mansfield PRO-FIT BUILDER Series 3060 TFS NCA 6606 tub requires a ledger board (referred to as blocking) for installation. The blocking should be placed below the tub rim to prevent deflection or movement but must not support the tub. The ledger board should be installed against wall sheathing, which runs full length to the floor. Precise vertical marks aligned with the bath rim and a 2¼” inward measurement from those marks help locate the wood strip position.
