INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS

The variety of installations possible for this air bath may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as needed. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing the air blower and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components. The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.

1.Position the air bath into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the integral support feet IF necessary. Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).

2.Remove the air bath and attach a 1 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line.

!The rim of the bath must not support weight.

. Install drain components to the air bath following the drain installation instructions. Before replacing your air bath for final installation, be certain that an opening has been provided in the sub-floor for the drain. See the roughing-in drawing and Table 1 for suggested opening size (shadowed) and location dimensions. The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.

The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and

!bather. Refer to Table 1 under total weight for your model.

For Models: 2425V.168C-RHO and 2425V.268C-LHO;

This bath must be supported along its entire bottom. Use mortar as bedding material (do not use sand or foam). Apply enough mortar to support the complete bottom of the bath. After the mortar has been poured, and before it sets, position bath within recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below.

!The rim of the bath must not support weight. Allow the mortar material to completely harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.

For Models: 2645V.068C, 2771V.068C, 7236V.068C and 2422V.068C;

Replace air bath and re-shim the integral support feet, shimming the entire length of the support feet. Secure the shims using construction adhesive, silicone, mortar or equivalent materials. While not a necessity, the use of a foundation base consisting of cement, mortar, or grout will help provide a solid and secure installation.

!The rim of the bath must not support weight. If foundation base is used, allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
