GETTING STARTED

TOOLS AND MATERIALS:

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

We recommend consulting a professional if

you are unfamiliar with installing bathroom

ﬁxtures and plumbing. Signature Hardware

accepts no liability for any damage to the

ﬂoor, walls, plumbing, or personal injury

during installation.

Observe all local plumbing and building

codes.

Unpack and inspect the tub for damage. If

any damage is found, contact our

Customer Relations team at

1-866-855-2284.

*not included

Ensure that you have gathered all of the

required materials that are needed for

the installation.

Ensure that your bathroom ﬂoor is

adequately supported, and the ﬁnished

ﬂoor is level.

Keep the plumbing connections around

the tub easily accessible for any future

maintenance that may be necessary.

PLANNING

Use the tub’s PDF speciﬁcation sheet as a

reference when planning your layout. The

speciﬁcation sheet can be found and

downloaded from the product page on our

website.

Because the tub speciﬁcation

measurements are approximate and slight

variations may occur, we highly recommend

performing any rough-in procedures with

the tub on site. For on-site rough-in

information, go to the appropriate drain

installation section.

CAST IRON CLAWFOOT TUB INSTALLATION STEP 1: ATTACHING THE FEET 1. Carefully lay the tub upside down on towels or other padding so that the bottom of the tub is facing up. 3. Match each tub foot with its corresponding pod, as shown below. If the letters on your tub and feet do not match, lay the feet out on the ﬂoor and check to see if all feet are the same size.

Be sure to lift the tub by the rim and body only. 6. If the tub feet do not sit ﬂush on the ﬂoor, shims may need to be added to the feet. To add shims, remove the foot and install the shim between the foot and the foot bolt. When the foot is alligned properly, secure it back to the tub.

CAST IRON CLAWFOOT TUB STEP 2: TUB INSTALLATION 1. Set the tub in the desired installation location and drop a plumb line from the center of the overﬂow hole to the ﬂoor. This will determine your drain location. Mark the drain hole location on the ﬂoor. 3. Carefully set the tub back into position and adjust the feet adjusters as necessary. Once level, apply a generous bead of silicone on the bottom of the feet. This will prevent the tub from shifting after installation. 2.

CAST IRON CLAWFOOT TUB CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Cast iron tubs have a porcelain enamel surface that is fused to the cast iron under high temperatures and is one of the best heat-resistant coatings available. Porcelain enamel is a hard, glass-like surface that is not easily scratched and is extremely durable. A thorough rinsing and wipe down with a soft cloth is recommended after each use. For a more extensive cleaning, clean with a gentle soap, such as a dish washing liquid or an all-purpose cleaner.
