Prepare the Subfloor

IMPORTANT! The bath supports must rest directly on a level subfloor.

IMPORTANT! Squeaking may develop if the bath is installed over a subfloor other than plywood. In order to prevent squeaking, place a pad between the bath and the subfloor and positioned under the bath supports. We recommend that the pad be made of spun bonded polyester landscape fabric or spun bonded house wrap material. Do not use roofing felt.

IMPORTANT! The drain line must be installed in accordance with the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Locate the drain line and trap using the dimensions given in the ″Roughing-In″ section.

For above-the-floor drain installations, cut the hole in the floor for the drain line.

For through-the-floor drain installations, cut the hole in the floor for the drain assembly. The drain connection should be made directly under the overflow drain. Leave room to connect the piping.

Ensure that the apron flanges can be secured to the studs or install three 2x4 blocks just behind the apron location.

Verify the subfloor is level. If the subfloor is not level, proceed to the ″Level the Subfloor″ subsection below.

Level the Subfloor

IMPORTANT! If you intend to install this product using a mortar cement bed, do not level the subfloor at this time. Proceed to the ″Install the Rough Plumbing″ section of this installation guide.

IMPORTANT! Mortar cement is required to level an uneven subfloor. Do not use plaster, gypsum cement, or drywall compound for this application, as these materials do not provide adequate structural support.

Spread a layer of mortar cement on the subfloor where the bath supports will be located.

Préparer le plancher

IMPORTANT! Les supports de la baignoire doivent reposer directement sur un sol nivelé.

IMPORTANT! Des grincements peuvent avoir lieu si la baignoire est installée sur un plancher autre que contreplaqué. Pour éviter les grincements, placer un patin entre la baignoire et le plancher et sous les supports de baignoire. Nous recommandons un patin fait en polyester filé pour jardinage ou matériau de couverture de maison. Ne pas utiliser de goudron.

IMPORTANT! La ligne du drain doit être installée conformément aux instructions du fabricant. Localiser la ligne du drain et le siphon en utilisant les dimensions données dans la section ″Raccordement″ de ce guide.

Pour les installations de drain au-dessus du sol, découper le trou dans le sol pour la ligne du drain.

Pour les installations de drain dans le sol, découper le trou dans le sol pour la ligne du drain. La connexion du drain devrait être effectuée directement sous le drain du trop-plein. Laisser de l’espace pour connecter la tuyauterie.

S’assurer que les brides du bandeau peuvent être sécurisés aux montants ou installer trois blocs de 2x4 juste derrière l’emplacement du bandeau.

Vérifier que le plancher est nivelé. Si le plancher n’est pas nivelé, procéder à la section ″Niveler le plancher″ ci-dessous.
