Position bathtub within the recess, check level, front to back, side to side. Also
check drain clearance hole in sub floor. To secure the tub to wood studs, use
roofing nails 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.
