How to Install Tub Feet

For homeowners considering a clawfoot tub, one of the key steps in installation will be installing the tub feet. Tub feet are available in numerous styles, designs, and finishes, making it easy to pick out the perfect tub to match any bathroom design.

Once the tub has been chosen, it is time to get to work installing the feet.

Start by Gathering the Tools and Supplies

To install tub feet, the first step is to gather the appropriate tools and supplies. You’ll need:

• Adjustable wrench
• Rubber mallet
• Set of tub feet
• Accompanying bolts, washers, and lug nuts

Next, Follow Installation Steps

If the tub drain is located in the center of the tub, install the tub feet pointing in more of a horizontal position.

If the tub drain is located at either end of the bathtub, the tub feet need to be pointed in a more outward direction for the installation.

1. Turn the tub over and place it on a non-abrasive mat.
2. Insert pyramid bolts into the mounting slot at the bottom of the tub.
3. Align the feet with the bolt. Insert leg, washers, and nut. Tighten loosely.
4. Proceed to the next three feet.
5. When all four feet have been attached, tighten the bolts and check the fit.
6. Adjust the leg for proper fit. It might be necessary to tap with the rubber mallet to ensure a good position.
7. Retighten each bolt.
8. Once all four legs are installed and the bolts are properly tightened, carefully flip the tub back over.
9. If the tub wobbles, adjust the legs by raising or lowering the adjustment bolt at the bottom of each leg.
