<p>How to install cast iron<a href="https://www.appollobath.com/bath-tubs.html" target="_blank"> bathtub</a></p><p><br></p><p>The first step: test whether the water leaks</p><p>Before placing the bathtub, install the water fittings and close the water for 24 hours to see if the bathtub leaks. Pay special attention to the upper overflow. It is difficult to keep the water closed for 24 hours. Pour two buckets of water outside the bathroom, and try to drain the water in the installed bathtub. This is more convenient.</p><p>When it comes to the actual installation, the bathtub is directly lifted into the bathroom and placed in the drain position. Since the mixing position of the faucet when changing the water is just the width of the bathtub, if the size of the bathtub and the mixing water are not right, it is necessary Note that the center point of the <a href="https://www.appollobath.com/bath-tubs.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bathtub</a> should be facing the center point of the mixing water, otherwise it will be ugly after the mixing faucet is installed in the future.</p><p>It should be noted that: whether the center point of the width of the bathtub is aligned with the center point of the faucet. This should be considered when changing the water at the beginning. Is the width of the bathtub 700? 750? 800's? Once the size of the mixed water is determined by changing the water, try to buy a bathtub according to this, otherwise it will be difficult to change the size of the mixed water from the wall in the future.</p><p>Step 2: Leveling the bathtub</p><p>When placing the bathtub, make sure that the other end of the drain is slightly higher than the end of the drain, so that the sewage will not be discharged smoothly in the future. This depends on the situation. The bathtub was originally suggested by Xiao Gong. It was observed that the bottom of the bathtub had a slope for drainage. The four sides of the bathtub were leveled with a spirit level and tested with water. As expected, the water drained quickly. The bathtub visually maintains the horizontal beauty without affecting the drainage effect.</p><p>Step 3: Fill the sand</p><p>Although the cast iron bathtub is strong, its thermal conductivity is very fast. You should use medium river sand to pave and smash the bottom of the bathtub firmly. Bricklayers also suggest using foam. Considering that foam is not as fluid as river sand, it is suitable to fill all gaps. In the process of filling river sand, how to prevent sand from leaking into the sewer is a problem to be solved.</p><p>After all the installation work is completed, the water will be tested again (this step is mainly to ensure that the moving bathtub does not cause the water to leak). After confirming that it is correct, wait for the bricklayer to build the skirt.</p><p>Step 4: Leave the inspection port</p><p>A hole with a height of 300 mm and a width of 400 mm is left at the drain. Cut a hole according to the size, and cut out the water-proof and anti-corrosion-treated wood board (thickness 40 mm) according to the size, and use the calculated brick number and arrangement on the board to use 903 construction Glue the bricks on the board. Put sealant on the edge of the protruding brick and set it on the box body;</p><p>This is to facilitate the maintenance of the <a href="https://www.appollobath.com/bath-tubs.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">bathtub</a> drainage system in the future. When building the bathtub skirt, for aesthetic considerations, all the height of 600 is reserved, and other materials such as mosaic are discarded. The bathtub skirt uses the same bricks as the lower part of the wall tiles. In this way, the lower wall tiles, floor tiles and bathtub skirts are all made of One color and one material, very beautiful.</p><p>Step five: tiling</p><p>The tiling of the bathtub skirt does not need to be scratched. Lay a table with red bricks, spread a layer of cement mortar on the surface, and then wait two days for tiling. The tiling is very troublesome. Because the ground has a slope, the bathtub It is flat, so each large brick must be polished to a different size. It cannot be polished a lot at a time. It is easy to polish and needs to be polished repeatedly. The upper fortress of the brick is tucked under the rounded edge of the bathtub so that it does not form a positive angle.</p>
