INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

THANK YOU...for selecting an American Standard . . . the benchmark of fine quality for over 100 years. To ensure that your installation proceeds smoothly--please read these instructions carefully before you begin. All you need to finish the installation are your selected fittings. (Certain installations may require professional help.) Also be sure your installation conforms to local codes.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor immediately.

Protect all finished surfaces of the bath during construction and installation using a drop cloth. If packaging foam is removed for inspection purposes, save for foot installation procedure.

Fittings (bath filler, drain, feet, and water supplies) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately.
