6. Level the Overﬂowing Bath (without level)

NOTICE: You do not need electrical power for the unit for the following leveling procedure.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap, and connect the drain to the trap according to the drain

manufacturer’s instructions.

Close the drain, and plug or cover the suction cover to temporarily make them watertight.

Use a hose and fresh water supply to ﬁll the bathing well to the bathing well rim.

Observe the water level (grey shading in illustration = water level) in relation to the bathing well

rim.

If the water evenly cascades over the entire rim of the overﬂowing bath, no adjustments are needed.

The overﬂowing bath is level.

If the water level is uneven and only cascades over sections of the rim, use the wrench to turn the

adjustable feet up or down as needed to obtain a uniform water level.

Open the drain, and unplug the suction cover to drain the bathing well.

IMPORTANT! Allow adequate access to each of the six adjustable feet until after you have test run your

bath.

7. Install the Plumbing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the drain connections.

IMPORTANT! Choose a ﬁll spout which will provide adequate air space above the bathing well rim of the

bath. You may need to build up the deck material to obtain adequate air space because the outer rim may

be lower than the bathing well rim. In addition, if you plan to install a deck-mounted, hand-held shower,

the diverter vacuum breaker must maintain a minimum 1″ (2.5 cm) air gap above the outer rim.

NOTE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.

If you have not yet done so, connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s

instructions.

Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install the

faucet trim until instructed.

Make sure all butterﬂy valves and supply connections are tightened securely.

Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply connections for leakage.

Run water into the bathing well, and check the drain connections for leakage.
