Cersanit Inverto Oval Freestanding Bathtub 170x80cm Installation Guide

Product Overview

The Cersanit Inverto Oval is a premium freestanding bathtub designed for modern bathrooms. This guide provides essential instructions for the correct installation and setup of the 170x80cm model to ensure long-term durability and safety.

Safety and Preparation

Installation should be performed by at least two people to avoid injury or damage to the product. Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools, including a wrench, a spirit level, and high-quality sanitary silicone. Ensure the floor surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of the bathtub when filled with water.

Installation Steps

• Preparation: Place the bathtub upside down on a soft, protective surface to prevent scratching the finish.
• Leveling: Adjust the feet of the bathtub using a wrench. Ensure the tub is perfectly level using a spirit level. A small gap of approximately 2mm should be maintained between the base and the floor for proper drainage and structural stability.
• Drainage Connection: Install the waste and overflow system according to the manufacturer's instructions provided with the drain kit.
• Positioning: Carefully turn the bathtub over and place it in its final position. Re-check the level in all directions.
• Sealing: Apply sanitary silicone around the base of the bathtub where it meets the floor. Ensure all contact points are properly sealed to prevent water ingress.

Maintenance and Care

After applying silicone, allow the sealant to cure for at least 24 hours before using the bathtub. Regular cleaning should be performed using non-abrasive, mild bathroom cleaners to maintain the surface finish. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scouring pads that could damage the acrylic surface. Periodically check the stability of the feet and the integrity of the silicone seals to prevent leaks.

Troubleshooting

If the bathtub feels unstable, re-adjust the leveling feet. If water leaks occur at the base, check the silicone seal for gaps and re-apply if necessary. Ensure the drain connection is tight and free of debris.
