Subfloor

Prepare the subfloor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.

1The drain/overflow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical Specifications Manual that corresponds with your bathtub.

2Make appropriate cuts to the subfloor to accommodate the drain.

3Jacuzzi’s Tru-Level™ base is a standard feature on all bathtubs. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to the “Installation” section.

4If the subfloor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing the bathtub. The materials used will insure that the bathtub is supported from the bottom. These materials include: leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam (having a density of a minimum 5lbs/cubic foot). The bathtub must remain level in order for it to drain properly and must make contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
