COPPER TUB

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CARE GUIDE

Before you begin, read the following rough-in, installation and care instructions. Observe all local plumbing and building

codes. Install your tub on an adequately supported and level nished oor.

Unpack and inspect your tub for damages. If any damage is found, contact Customer Service at 1-866-855-2284 and

return the tub to the packing crate. If you need assistance while installing your new copper tub, call Customer Service.

We recommend consulting a professional if you are unfamiliar with installing bathroom xtures and plumbing. Keep the

plumbing connections around the tub easily accessible for any future maintenance that may be necessary. Measure

doorways and other entry points to ensure the tub will t into the desired installation area. Signature Hardware accepts

no liability for any damage to the oor, walls, plumbing, or for personal injury during installation.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS:

ROUGH-IN

The type of drain and connection method used will vary depending on your plumbing access. Determine the type of

connection (drain tailpipe, hub adapter, or waste and overow) taking into account the height and material of the nished

oor.

We highly recommend performing any rough-in procedures with the tub on site. For on-site rough-in information, go to

the appropriate Drain Installation section. For determining drain rough-in without the tub present, continue to Steps 1 and

2 before proceeding to drain installation.

Refer to the tub’s PDF Specications sheet. (This can be viewed/printed from the website.)

1. Determine the desired location and orientation of the tub and mark the location on the oor using the length and

width dimensions provided in the PDF Specications.

2. If the tub will have a drain only (no waste and overow), use a tape measure and straightedge to mark the centerline

of the drain location on the oor. Use the dimensions provided in the PDF Specications as a guideline. If the tub

will have waste and overow, use a tape measure and straightedge to mark a spot on oor 1" beyond the tub rim at

the centerline of the side of the tub. Again use the dimensions provided in the PDF Specications as a guideline.

DRAIN INSTALLATION (NO OVERFLOW)

1 Set the tub in the desired installation location and mark the drain hole location on the oor. If your tub is not present,

move on to the next step using the location determined in the Rough-In section.

2. Move the tub away from the installation location and cut a drain hole in the oor using the outline created in the

previous step.

3. Position and install a standard PVC or brass tub drain in the oor. Install the drain pipe so that approximately 6" of

the pipe (stub) extends above the nished oor.

4. After the oor is nished, measure and cut the drain pipe stub to the appropriate length for the type of drain that is

being used.

5. Temporarily set the tub in location and verify that the tub is level. If the tub is not level, adjust the tub feet as

necessary. If your tub does not feature adjustable feet, level with plastic shims. Shims can be held in place by

silicone sealant.

6. Connect the tub drain to the trap and piping. Apply neutral cure silicone thread sealant to the underside of the drain

ange before threading it through the tub and into the drain. Apply plumber’s tape or neutral cure silicone sealant

to any threaded connections that do not have a rubber sealing gasket. After hand tightening all connections, add a

quarter turn with your adjustable wrench to secure. Do not overtighten. (Note: Silicone sealant requires 24-hour cure

time.)

7. When your tub is in place and all connections have been made, run a bead of neutral cure silicone adhesive around

the base of the tub. Wipe away any excess sealant with a damp cloth.

8. After installation, ll the tub with water to check for any leaks from the connections and verify that the drain is

working properly.

WASTE AND OVERFLOW DRAIN INSTALLATION

A waste line hole, or mouse-hole, has been pre-drilled near the bottom of your tub and an overow hole has been drilled

near the tub rim with the overow assembly installed.

1. Set the tub in the desired installation location and drop a plumb line from the center of the overow drain assembly

to the oor to determine the drain hole location. Mark the drain hole location on the oor. If your tub is not present,

move on to the next step using the location determined in the Rough-In section.

2. Move the tub away from the installation location and cut a drain hole in the oor using the outline created in the

previous step.

3. Install the waste drain in the oor at the appropriate height for waste and overow piping.

4. Trim the waste and overow pipes as necessary to ensure the overow line is straight and all pipes are properly

aligned.

5. Temporarily set the tub in location and verify that the tub is level. If the tub is not level, adjust the tub feet as

necessary. If your tub does not feature adjustable feet, level with plastic shims. Shims can be held in place by

silicone sealant.

6. Apply neutral cure silicone thread sealant to the underside of the drain ange before threading it through the tub and

into the drain.(Note: Silicone sealant requires 24-hour cure time.)

7. After the oor is nished, set the tub in place and connect the waste and overow piping to the drain in the oor.

Apply plumber’s tape or neutral cure silicone thread sealant to any threaded connections that do not have a rubber

sealing gasket. After hand tightening all connections, add a quarter turn with your adjustable wrench to secure. Do

not overtighten.

8. When your tub is in place and all connections have been made, run a bead of neutral cure silicone adhesive around

the base of the tub. Wipe away any excess sealant with a damp cloth.

9. After installation, ll the tub with water to check for any leaks from the connections and verify that the drain is

working properly.

DECK MOUNT FAUCET INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

Pre-drilled tubs will have two holes, 7" apart when measured from their centers, on the top of the tub rim. If your tub has

not been pre-drilled perform the following steps to determine the rough-in location for a deck mount faucet.

1. Position the faucet in the desired location on top of the tub rim. The spout should be approximately 2-1/2" to 3" from

tub rim. Be sure to install the faucet in a position that will not interfere with overow.

2. Mark the faucet centerlines with your pencil.

3. Refer to faucet installation instructions to determine the diameter of the mounting holes and carefully drill the holes in

top of the tub rim.

COPPER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Copper’s ability to conduct heat makes it an ideal material for plumbing and accessories. When hot water makes contact

with the copper bathtub, the walls of the vessel quickly come up to temperature and help hold in the heat. This eliminates

the need to keep relling the tub, which saves water and helps reduce heating costs.

Copper is resistant to corrosion and will never rust. Easy to preserve, copper bathtubs require little more than periodic

maintenance. To care for your copper xture, simply dry after using and polish from time to time. Even left untreated, the

natural weathering process creates a patina that protects copper from further corrosion. If you wish to keep your copper

xture in its original condition and prevent the natural aging process, wipe it dry after each use. Apply wax, such as Table

Top Wax, at least once every 15-20 days.
