American Standard 3575, 3574 Installation And Framing Instructions, Typical Recess Installation

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS:

The variety of installations possible for this air massage system may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as required. 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 massage system into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the integral feet with attached baseboard as necessary. Refer to the Air Bath Installation Table for nominal installation dimensions. Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).

. Remove the air massage system 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.

3. Install supplied cable drain components to the air massage system according to the enclosed 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 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.

4. Replace air massage system and re-shim the integral support feet with attached baseboard, shimming the entire length of the baseboard as needed. Secure the shims using construction adhesive, silicone or equivalent materials.

! The rim of the bath must not support weight. Any finish material such as tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
