Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Shut off the water supply and ensure the tub is empty and dry before beginning work. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including applicable IPC guidelines, for drain and overflow assembly installation. Do not overtighten fittings, as this can crack plastic drain components or damage the tub surround.
