FREESTANDING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Ovale, Rosabella and Tahoe 7242 Models
PREPARATION
1. Clean, level, and prepare the oor for installation.
2. Place the unit in the exact installed position on the oor and trace
the outline of the bath with a pencil or any erasable marking pen.
While the unit is in position, ensure it is level in both directions
for proper drainage.
3. Using a blanket, cardboard, or other clean protective Wooden
Blocks surface, turn the unit upside down and remove the
screws and/or wooden blocks holding the apron and the bathtub
together (gure 1).
4. Separate bathtub from apron.
5. 5. Install all plumbing and drainage before setting bathtub into
apron. Note: due to limited space between the apron and tub
shell, use care when selecting your drain kit if not provided
by Hydro Massage Products.
Important! Faucet elements must be attached to, at least, a 24" –
30" length of
1
⁄2" hose so that bathtub can be lifted if ever necessary.
6. Place apron in outline marked in step 2. Drill 4 over sized holes
in bottom of apron large enough to accommodate whatever size
screws will be used to fasten apron to oor without cracking
the acrylic. Application of a silicone sealant under the apron is
optional.
7. Secure apron to oor. Do not over tighten fasteners, causing
acrylic to crack on the apron. Hydro Massage Products will
not warranty acrylic damage done during this step.
For installations on slabs or other installations where access from below the tub is impossible, we require cutting a
hole in the slab or sub-oor large enough that it extends outside the base of the tub. This will allow easier connection
of the waste/overow and then can be re-lled and nished upon completion of installation and testing. (See General
Guidelines, page 7)
