How can I engineer this to fit my 3/38 center clawfoot tub? Can somone tell me how they mounted this? I have supply lines. Doesnt look stable enough.

I wall mounted it using 1/2 hard copper with male pipe thread ends soldered to right angle fittings and attached to the framing with clamps. I had to make sure I ordered the one with 1/2 14 NPT fittings to do this. Very nice part, very solid this way.

You might have to go get some additional large washers to provide a surface to go against the side of the tub. There is a plastic lock nut system that goes on the same threads the supply lines hook up to. I was able to get mine to be stable. Go to the Kingston Brass website and you can view parts diagrams for the various faucets by model number.

I am using my existing 3/4 in pipe with a flange attached to it. Good luck.

I don't know anything about that tub. The stems are 4 " center, if the holes in the tub are in that neighborhood you should be ok.

Before filling my tub, I phoned the manufacturer Watkins Manufacturing 760-598-6464. I told them the area desired for the tub was not flat but had a patio slope which was less than an inch per 75 inches. They informed me that my hot tub was ok as long as the water level was above the intake filter. Call the Mfg. if in doubt and give them your drop per 75 inches from one side of the tub to the other and they will let you know if your tub is structurally sound enough to handle the slope. They said mine was fine without being completely level.

Sandra, I bought this thinking it was the one my wife had in mind, I was mistaken. I installed it, the removed it replacing it with the proper one. It has no markings on it,but it seem to be just like the Pegasus model #195-S-CP, that is found on the Home Depot website under "Clawfoot tub faucet" It had two brass tabs that I had to remove with a grinding wheel to install it onto a vintage clawfoot tub.

I think the previous answers pretty much sum it up. I had a problem with it also. The top of the mounting bracket kept coming off with the upward pressure, but with persistence, and holding the top of the mounting bracket, upward pressure and a twist will do it. I think it's a bad design but it will fit.

No problems. Looking at the bar I think it would go to an inch. Just measured it and we have a four inch tub. Hope that helps.

Ellen, I installed 2 6' black iron pipes on my deck where the front of the awning ends. I attached them to the deck with flanges and put a PVC T on the top. I added industrial strength velcro on the T and the front of the Awning. I also have 7 mounts holding the awning at it's anchor point. The tubing they made this unit with is sub standard for the weight it has to hold. If I could upload a picture for you I would but don't see anywhere here to do so. motorhogman at yahoo if you want to email me and I'll send you some pics of my modifications.

I used heavy sheet metal screwsto hold the tubes in place. You should get 39"

They may make a generic one at a hardware store but it does not come with the kit...a word advice be sure to know what model you are ordering and how it will be mounted...on a freestanding tub ...on the wall above the tub..etc..we ordered the wrong opening size for the predrilled holes in our claw foot tub and got stuck with a $47 restocking fee even though we bought the correct one from the same vendor.

It did not fit our regular tub so it was returned. Not sure about claw foot tubs.

Good question - since most clawfoot tubs are in older houses with tall ceilings. We just used a peice of chain to lengthen the rod. It was a rental house, and we're already moved on so I don't have a picture. By the way, this product worked for us - it is definitely a little more on the less-quality side of things (just light-gauge materials, overall cheap feel to it). It worked for what we wanted, and would buy one again. If it were my house, I would just get rid of the tub for something more usable. You end up with nowhere to put shampoo or soap.

Hey- I would recommend just using a piece of soft copper tubing with a flare fitting or a press fitting to do the job. The stainless pickup tube that came with it didn't fit quite right and I removed it and replaced it with copper tubing and it worked out great. Just make a smooth bend on it and it should do you right.

I used 1 inch square tubing, but they will fit a larger bar. How large is your bar? I will check. I sold my boat, I will sell you a new set, never been in the sun.

Not directly with the brackets included. The brackets provided fit a 1.75 inch tube - round or square. You will have to improvise and/or build/buy some attachment hardware or brackets. That is what I did, and it's not too difficult if you have some mechanical ability.

It should fit the little mounting rail on top look similar but just a heads up the 4 little claw clamps are made from cheap alum and I broke 3 of the 4 just snugging them. I had to make new ones out of steel.

I got this faucet hoping that I had picked the one that mounts to the tub, as it is very confusing...my contractor installed this inside my claw-foot tub just fine. So, no worries, it's the right one. :) Tub mounting, not wall mounting. :)
