This document provides installation instructions for Villeroy & Boch Quaryl freestanding bathtubs. Before beginning, ensure the floor is level and you have all necessary tools, including a spirit level, silicone sealant, and appropriate plumbing connections. Do not use power tools for installation to avoid damaging the tub surface.
Installation Preparation
Before starting the installation, verify that the floor is level and capable of supporting the weight of the bathtub when filled with water. Ensure the drain connection (DN 50 / DN 40) is correctly positioned according to the specific model dimensions.
- Check that all components are present in the packaging.
- Ensure the installation area is clean and dry.
- Verify that the water supply and drainage meet the technical specifications.
Installation Steps
The installation process generally follows these steps, though specific details may vary by model:
- Leveling: Place the bathtub in the desired location and use a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Adjust the feet if necessary.
- Marking: Mark the position of the bathtub on the floor.
- Sealing Preparation: Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the base perimeter as indicated in the diagrams.
- Drain Connection: Connect the drain pipe to the bathtub outlet. Ensure all connections are tight and leak-free.
- Final Positioning: Carefully place the bathtub into its final position, ensuring it aligns with the markings and the silicone seal.
- Sealing: Apply a final bead of silicone around the base of the tub to create a watertight seal.
Sealing and Maintenance
After installation, apply silicone sealant around the base of the bathtub. Important: Allow the silicone to cure for at least 24 hours before using the bathtub or exposing it to water. Do not use the bathtub during this curing period.
