It depends on the style. Most have a sort of a sliding wedge system (or maybe some might call it a toung and groove) but that may not be the correct term. Anyhow the flip the tub over if you can, otherwise raise it on wood blocks so the feet are off the ground. Slide the feet in as far as they go. Then there will be a (should be) a small hole perpendicular to the toung section of the foot. Drive the largest nail that will fit through that hole, sometimes drive another smaller nail directly into the groove, perpendicular to the first nail. Again it depends on the design. The feet should feel secure and not like they would slip out. Once there is pressure on the feet they will secure even more. Loose fitting feet will easily slip out on tile floor. That could be dangerous and ruin your Plumbing, crack tile etc....Hope this helps. I just inststalled 3 of them and it went great.

How large does a bathroom have to be for a tub?

Standard home tubs are 5 ft long. If the rough opening is 5 ft, you can slip in a tub. There are some mobile home tubs that are even smaller.ANS 2 - I've seen bathrooms as small as 7x7 feet with tub, toilet and sink/vanity.


How many ounces in a 4 x 6 diameter tub?

You are going to have to rethink this question. If a tub is 4 x 6 then it is rectangular, not round, yet you have described this as a diameter, which apples only to circles. You also have given no units of measurement. You might mean 4 inches by 6 inches, or 4 centimeters by 6 centimeters, or 4 feet by 6 feet, we have no way of knowing. And even then we still can't answer your question because volume is three dimensional, not two dimensional. We also have to know how deep this tub is, before we can calculate the volume.
