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.
