2 WALL BASE INSTALLATION
STEP 4
With the drain fitting passing over the center of the drainpipe, lower the shower base carefully into place, push down firmly until the base is in place. You must check the level of the base in two directions. Do not lift a corner to level the base. This will cause a loss of contact with the mortar. Attach the shower base flange to the stud wall and blocking with
POSITION BASE OVER CENTER OF
DRAIN PIPE AND SET INTO PLACE
NOTE: If there is any gap between base flange and stud or blocking, shims MUST be used to prevent distortion or cracking of the flange.
STEP 5
With a large screwdriver and the tool included with the drain, tighten the inside compression nut to seal the drain pipe connection. After drain is fully installed, test for proper drainage. If the shower base does not drain properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with the installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not respon- sible for removal and/ or reinstallation costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the installer’s responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded from the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath warranty.
Replace the strainer and tape over the drain hole to prevent finishing material from entering drain.
