The cast iron bathtub must be installed on a brick base.

Installing a bathtub on legs does not guarantee its stability: the screw fastening loosens over time, reducing statics. The most reliable placement of a cast iron bowl is on solid brickwork. But simply placing the bowl on such a “pedestal” is not enough.

It is necessary to do the job well, which means slowly, step by step, to install it so that there is no gap between the edge of the bathtub and the wall, where water gets in, and then, over time, mold forms. First, you need to understand that cast iron products are heavy in themselves, and if you take into account the cambodia mobile database size of bathtubs 80x160 with a height of 50 cm, then it is clear why installation should be done by at least two people.

Note: despite the apparent archaism of such baths, they are actively used, since the heat capacity of cast iron exceeds all other materials by several times!

Brick base for a cast iron bath
Just a few steps and the bathtub will be installed on a solid base. To do this you need:

Measure the room and the bathroom, think about its location in relation to other household appliances and plumbing equipment.
Prepare the bricks. You need just enough to lay a scaffolding 2-3 bricks high across the bath. On average, 20 pieces. To create a recess (bed), another half-brick is laid along the edges. The number of rows is calculated depending on the length of the product, taking into account that the optimal distance between them is 50 cm. The height of the bath on bricks from the sides to the floor should not be higher than 0.7 m, so that it is convenient to climb into it. The height of the front scaffolding is 17 cm, and at the other end it is made 2 cm higher.
The masonry is made using a sand-cement mortar: one part cement to four parts sand with water added. The edges of the container are attached to the wall with tile adhesive. For greater reliability, the side surfaces of the bathtub adjacent to the wall are treated in the same way, as well as the wall itself. This ensures, firstly, a strong "wall-bathtub" connection, and secondly, the adhesive base creates a seal for the seams. Ideally, for good adhesion of the mortar to the bricks, you need to give the masonry time to stand for at least a day.
