Framing and Installation

THE VARIETY OF INSTALLATIONS POSSIBLE FOR THIS BATH MAY REQUIRE FRAMING PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SHOWN.

LOCATE STUDS AS REQUIRED. INSURE ROUGH DIMENSIONS ARE PROPER, PLUMB AND SQUARE. FOR WHIRLPOOLS,

PROVISION MUST BE MADE IN ALL INSTALLATIONS FOR AN ACCESS OPENING FOR SERVICING PUMP AND CONTROLS.

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MUST BE USED FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS: STRINGER OR PIER HEIGHT SHOULD BE AS INDICATED. THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF MORTAR AS A BEDDING MATERIAL (SAND IS NOT RECOMMENDED). APPLY ENOUGH BEDDING TO SUPPORT THE COMPLETE BOTTOM OF THE BATH. AFTER THE BEDDING HAS BEEN POURED, AND BEFORE IT SETS, POSITION WHIRLPOOL OR BATH WITHIN INSTALLATION UNTIL THE RIM IS LEVELED AGAINST THE LEVELING STRINGERS (SEE "TYPICAL CORNER INSTALLATION") SHOWN BELOW. THE RIM OF THE BATH MUST NOT SUPPORT WEIGHT. ALLOW THE BEDDING MATERIAL TO COMPLETELY HARDEN BEFORE APPLYING WEIGHT TO THE RIM OR BOTTOM OF THE BATH. ANY FINISH MATERIAL SUCH AS WALL BOARD OR TILE MUST BE SELF-SUPPORTING IF IT CONTACTS THE DECK OF THE BATH.
