INSTALL CEMENT BOARD

Install cement board to the walls according to established installation methods. The cement board must cover the entire wall surface from ceiling to subfloor. Provide a cut6out area around the mounting frame.

Mark the cement board for the suction fitting hole by first measuring up at least ￿6￿/￿6inches from the footbath basin material. Add the thickness of the finished floor material you plan to use, and draw a pencil mark at that location. Make sure the wall is perfectly flat and smooth within a ￿6inch diameter area around the suction hole pencil

mark. Use a hole saw to drill a 36￿/46inch hole in the cement board at the pencil mark.

Carefully cut holes for the water supplies, suction, drain and drain overflow, as well as any lighting fixtures or other required accessories.

Cut a hole around the keypad outlet box, if

 

you are not using the outlet box, cut or drill

 

￿6￿/￿6inch diameter hole for the cable.
