I picked up a new bathtub the other day, and am confused by one part of the installation document ( well, one part other than the math errors on certain dimensions ). The part I don't understand is w

My guess would be the alloy will expand enough that there'd be stress on the screws at the rim if there was nowhere for the expansion to go. The nails in stringers is plenty of support. It's no diffe

Isn't it pretty unlikely that triple-layer construction described above can expand that much without a) cracking the porcelain finish or b) becoming unbonded? Wouldn't all three materials have to exp

My guess is they don't want create stress points that could cause cracks. If the floor is uneven the tub might eventually conform to the floor and the high points would be under stress and crack. Jus

It's also *much* easier to get a stringer level than a floor. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Sug

My Kohler drop-in non-whirlpool had 5 blocks cast into the fiberglass for support on the floor. The Kohler 3x4 shower pan did too, but the plumbers didn't bother supporting it. No issues with crackin

Possibly, since they do make a whirlpool version of the same tub. Also Ben writes... This makes sense... except that step 2 is to make sure the floor is level. Obviously, it's a complete waste of tim

Sounds like it is time to call American Standard and get their opinion. I would probably call several times to be sure the information they are giving out is correct. They can possibly send you a cop

That's the way they are supposed to be installed. I can't explain why, but every one I've looked at said to do it that way. My impression is that the tub is designed to deform under the stress of the
