The tub is provided with an integral base for easier installation.
Position the bath on the floor and slide into place until the tub is
resting on the rear stringer. The base does not need to contact
the floor for proper installation. The base on the 2392 and 2393
models is raised above the floor to facilitate drain installation.
Check level, front to back and side to side. Also check drain
clearance hole in sub floor. To secure the tub to wood studs, use
sheet rock screws with washers immediately above the flange of
the tub. To secure the tub to steel studs, use drywall screws and
flat washers. (See Step 4)
Caution: Take Extra Care When Driving Nails or Screws To
Avoid Damaging The Tub.
The tile or similar finished floor will be butted against the
bottom of the tub apron also holding the tub in place.
NOTE: Warranty will be voided if the drain is installed after
the tub has been set in place.
