How to Attach Feet to an Acrylic Clawfoot Tub

Carefully lay the tub upside down on a folded blanket or other padding on the floor so that the bottom of the tub is facing up.

Note: If you are working with a roll top tub, place a book or 2x4 beneath the tub rim to easily flip the tub back over when finished.

Remove the washers and nuts from the threaded studs on the bottom of the tub.

Place the bars over the threaded studs, making sure to align them properly.

Thread a washer and nut onto each stud. Do not fully tighten the nuts; the bar needs to be able to slide back and forth until the foot is attached.

Fit the foot to the bar and tub. Secure the foot to the end of the bar with a flat washer, locking washer, and bolt.

Note: A very small gap between the foot and the tub is normal.

Once the tub and foot are fitted correctly, tighten the nuts that were used to secure the bar to the bottom of the tub. Be very careful not to overtighten the nut, as this could strip the bolt and crack an acrylic tub.

After all feet are attached, flip the tub over and allow it to rest on the floor. Be sure to lift the tub by the rim only; never by the feet. Additional adjustments can be made by tightening the levelers on the bottom of the feet.
