Understanding the 6-Inch Faucet Drilling Advantage
Think of the pre-drilled 6-inch rim mount holes like a custom-tailored suit where every measurement is aligned before you even begin. Instead of having to measure, mark, and drill through tough iron on-site, this flat area provides a dedicated landing pad for your water hardware. This precise spacing ensures your rim mount faucet drops securely into place with zero guesswork, aligning your water flow perfectly with the center drain for a clean, professional finish.
Installation Guide
Ensure your subfloor is structurally reinforced to safely support the heavy 230-pound weight of the cast iron material plus water and bather.
Position the claw feet securely according to manufacturer guidelines before carefully moving the tub into its final placement.
Connect your rim mount faucet to the pre-drilled 6-inch holes using appropriate sealing washers to prevent leaks.
Wipe down the interior enamel surface after every use with a soft towel to prevent soap scum buildup.
Care & Maintenance
Daily Rinsing Rinse the interior surface with warm water after every bath to wash away residual soap and oils.
Gentle Cleansing Use a mild, non-abrasive liquid cleanser and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the porcelain enamel.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals Never use scouring powders, steel wool, or harsh acid-based cleaners that can dull the finish.
Stall Maintenance Address minor stains promptly using baking soda mixed with water into a gentle paste.
Foot Inspection Periodically check the claw feet to ensure they remain tightly fastened and level on the floor.

The Enduring Appeal of Cast Iron Craftsmanship
Choosing a cast iron bathtub is an investment in generational durability. Unlike modern acrylic alternatives that can flex or scratch over time, the rigid and heavy nature of iron provides a rock-solid foundation that withstands decades of daily use. This material density naturally dampens sound, creating a quiet and serene bathing experience free from hollow echoes. Cheviot Products has built a trusted reputation for manufacturing authentic vintage fixtures that honor traditional manufacturing standards while meeting modern architectural expectations across North America.
Beyond its structural resilience, this bathtub contributes to a more mindful daily routine through superior thermal performance. Because cast iron absorbs and retains ambient heat from the water, your bath stays comfortably warm long after you step in, reducing the need to constantly top off with hot water. The classic oval configuration with its flat end and curved end accommodates natural posture, turning an ordinary washroom into a sanctuary of relaxation that complements historic and transitional home designs alike.
Why This Is the Right Choice
Superior Heat Retention Heavy cast iron construction naturally absorbs and holds heat to extend your relaxing soak.
Authentic Vintage Form Traditional oval styling with a flat end brings classic character to period-inspired bathroom designs.
Convenient Faucet Drilling Pre-drilled 6-inch holes simplify the mounting process for a compatible rim mount faucet.
Sturdy Foundation The heavy 230-pound weight ensures the bathtub remains completely solid and secure during use.
