[Music] my only concern is this little pinch off there it's just slightly i'm assuming it's going to decrease the flow but we'll find that out when we fire this thing up if the flow is weak then we'll have to figure out how to solve this problem here's our tub we got it from impava appliances they're nice enough to send it to us to use this on this project it is their 1518 model it's 59 inches it's got this cool vessel style uh here's our drain there these are levels we have to level them flush with the floor make sure the the drain is level we will loosen up just a little bit and then once we make a contact point with a threaded below we'll screw it in with our special tool [Music] now the tub is on i'm going to use flex shot to create a waterproofing seal around this therefore when you spill out here none of the water will seep underneath it once that's done i will close that drain fill the water up about two inches deep and i'll make a little dash mark with a pencil that i can erase later and watch the water about 24 hours to make sure there's no leakage that's a good leak test to prevent yourself from having headaches later so water's back on this is the very first time we're turning this thing on let's see that's a good flow that's not interfering with the whatever's pinching off there that's a great flow hey it actually works let's do the flood test
