In this video, home renovation brothers Dave and Rich show you how to install a freestanding tub. We also include how to install a freestanding tub faucet - also known as a tub filler. Before the task of mounting the freestanding tub can begin, the tub faucet must be installed as it is typically installed between the tub and wall. To install freestanding tub, complete the following steps.
1. locate or install plumbing supply lines and drain “y” connection
2. Install the tub filler and connect to the supply lines before finishing the floor.
3. finish flooring leaving an open cavity over which the freestanding tub will be placed.
4. connect the tub drain to the drain lines.
5. test for leaks
6. apply silicone to the tub base and / or tub feet
7. place the tub and allow silicone to dry.
The freestanding tub or its cousin, the slipper tub, add visual impact to what otherwise is a functional space. If you are looking to upgrade your master bathroom, installing a freestanding tub can go a long way toward making that happen.
That's it, hope this helps!
