Coordinate with a licensed plumber to align the center drain and connect the waste and overflow hardware securely.
Mount your compatible rim mount faucet through the pre-drilled 6-inch faucet holes before fully positioning the tub against the wall if tight clearance is a concern.
Level the clawfoot base carefully using manufacturer-approved shims to prevent rocking and ensure proper water drainage toward the center.
