Hello All,
I pulled out a galvanized tub and am replacing it with a new acrylic tub with a wooden base. The old tub was basically sitting in place with a few washers holding it to the vertical studs (behind the old shower kit).
Does the new tub just sit there also? I notice that this tub it considerably lighter than the original and may effect installation. Also, I am not comfortable screwing the new washers in to the studs to hold the tub in place for fear of damaging the new, more fragile acrylic tub.
Any thoughts?
Mike
