How to install the bathtub properly
1. Before placing the bathtub, install the water fittings and close the water for 24 hours to see if there is any leakage in the bathtub. Pay special attention to the overflow. It is difficult to keep the water closed for 24 hours. Pour two buckets of water outside the bathroom and try to drain the water in the installed bathtub. This is more convenient for operation. When it was time for the actual installation, the bathtub was directly lifted into the bathroom and placed under the water.
2. When placing the bathtub, make sure that the other end of the drain is slightly higher than the one end of the drain, so that the sewage will not be discharged smoothly in the future. This depends on the situation. The bathtub was originally suggested by Xiao Gong. It was observed that the bottom of the bathtub had a slope for drainage. The four sides of the bathtub were leveled with a spirit level and tested with water. As expected, the water drained quickly. The bathtub maintains a visually beautiful level without affecting the drainage effect.
3. Although the cast iron bathtub is strong, its thermal conductivity is very fast. You should use medium river sand to lay down the bottom of the bathtub firmly. . Bricklayers also recommend using foam. Considering that foam is not as fluid as river sand, it is suitable to fill all gaps. In the process of filling river sand, how to prevent sand from leaking into the sewer is a problem to be solved. After all the installation work is completed, the water test is performed again (this step is mainly to ensure that the moving bathtub does not cause the water to leak). After confirming that it is correct, wait for the bricklayer to build the skirt.
4. A hole with a height of 300mm and a width of 400mm is left at the drain, and a hole is cut according to the size, and the waterproof and anticorrosive wood board (thickness 40mm) is cut according to the size, and the number of bricks calculated on the board is Use 903 construction glue to stick the bricks on the board. Put sealant on the edge of the brick, and set it on the box
5. The tile of the bathtub skirt does not need to be scratched. Put a red brick table on the surface and apply a layer of cement mortar on the surface, and then wait two. It’s cumbersome to tiling in the next day. Because the ground has a slope and the bathtub is flat, each large brick must be polished to a different size. You can’t polish a lot at a time. It’s easier to polish and you have to repeat it. mill. The upper part of the brick is tucked under the round edge of the bathtub so that it does not form a positive angle.

6. Install the water fittings before placing the bathtub, and do it for 24 hours Close the water test to see if there is water leakage at each joint;
7. When placing the bathtub, pay attention that one end of the drain is slightly lower than the other end. The outer end should be slightly lower than the inner end;
8. The actual size of the bathtub may not be exactly the same as the nominal size. Please measure it on the spot when purchasing and installing, and reserve normal tolerances to facilitate installation .
