A Bathtub InstallationGeneral Notes Acrylic bathtubs Fig. 1 The bathtub may be supplied in one of two ways: -Without feet, for installation in a sand bed or on masonry support. - With factory-installed feet. In either case, it is crucial that the weight of the bath be supported by its base and rim at the same time and, therefore, the floor and the support wall, should there be one, must be able to support its weight. Protect the bathtub until the installation works have been completed. We recommend covering it with the plastic and the cardboard packaging it is supplied in,or with thick, soft fabric. Ifa blowtorch is used during installation, keep the flame away from the bath. Fit the handles (if included) before installing the bath (Fig.1). 6
