Installation Guide

Note: Sinkology copper bathtubs are handmade so variations in dimensions can
occur. We recommend performing Rough-In procedures with the bathtub on
site to ensure the correct installation.
1. Loosely assemble selected freestanding bathtub waste drain or overow
kit onto bathtub (leaving off the tailpipes at this time).
2. Determine water line locations for selected bathtub ller. Tub faucet may
need to be assembled prior to tub installation.
3. Place bathtub in nal location and mark exact location on the oor.
4. Rough-In nal plumbing waste drain and water lines into proper locations.
a. We recommend using OS&B Model # ITD35 rough-in kit. This
kit is designed to work with Sinkology copper bath tubs and
makes plumbing rough-in fast and easy, and ensures a water
tight connection.
Rough-In Waste Drain and Waterlines:
Step 1. Final waste drain and waterline Rough-In’s should be completed and
ooring should be nished. Ensure bathtub is properly supported and
level.
Step 2. Double check bathtub faucet installation requirements before nal bath
tub installation.
Step 3. Apply thread sealant or plumbers tape to any threaded connections that
do not have rubber gaskets.
Step 4. Apply plumbers putty to underside of drain ange and thread through
the bathtub and into drain pipe.
Step 5. Ensure waste drain and overow is securely connected to bathtub.
Step 6. Place tub back into desired location and verify that bathtub is level.
a. If using recommended rough-in kit (model # ITD35), the tub will
need to be raised approx. 8” before lowering into nal position.
Step 7. Finish installation by running a bead of silicone adhesive around the
base of copper freestanding bathtub where applicable.
Step 8. Allow sealants and adhesive to thoroughly dry before lling bathtub with
water. Consult sealant and adhesive manufacturers for dry times, as they
may vary.
