INSTALLATION

Framing and Support

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. For the total weight of the unit, please refer to the specification sheet for your model (pages 5 to 11). The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath. If the subfloor is not level, you MUST make sure that the level legs are making contact with the subfloor and that the unit is perfectly leveled. Both sides of a joint

or splice of subfloor should be level to each other. When attaching baths with flanges to stud wall, use shims to fill any gaps between the bath flange and studs, please refer to figure below, Optional Tile Flange Kit.

The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added weight must be fully self-supporting.

The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent damage to the finish during installation. Before installation, remove liner to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not remove until final cleanup.

IMPORTANT: If a skirt is to be used, it must be installed at the time of unit installation – refer to skirt installation instructions. Install optional trim parts when all installation has been completed.

In some cases, access may not have been provided because of the design of the bath environment and having full understanding that in this case, it may be necessary to remove the unit for service.

If this is the case, diagnosing a problem may not be possible without complete access to the plumbing system. This would necessitate the removal of the unit. Although this practice is not commonly implemented, it is an acceptable method.

If service access has not been provided, it is the home owners responsibility to remove the bath and provide the required access, should a repair become necessary.
