INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS

Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Access to Pump/Motor may be made through the access opening in the apron panel. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components.

NOTE: The apron may be used as the primary access opening.

1.As shown in Fig. 1, mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs, using a level or other suitable straight edge.

2.With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.

3.Install drain components to the whirlpool or bath following the manufacturers instructions. See the roughing-in drawing for suggested opening size and location dimensions.

4.THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG ITS ENTIRE BOTTOM. We recommend the use of mortar as 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 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 bedding material to completey 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.

The built-in HydroMassage feature allows for a spa-like experience, providing soothing water jets that improve relaxation and relieve stress. This therapeutic aspect transforms an ordinary bath into a rejuvenating ritual.

Furthermore, the tubs come with additional features such as pre-leveled bottoms for simplified installation and an integral apron design that adds elegance and practicality. Overflow and drain options are also engineered for seamless functionality, ensuring that water management is handled efficiently and stylishly.

American Standard prioritizes safety as well, equipping these models with slip-resistant surfaces that provide stability while entering and exiting the tub. This commitment to user safety is particularly beneficial for families and elderly users, ensuring peace of mind.
