Position the Bath
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift or move the bath by the apron or apron braces. Verify that the apron braces are attached before installing the bath, then lift the bath by the rim at multiple points.
NOTE: Keep a liner or drop cloth in place in the bottom of the bath until construction is complete.
Install the drain and overflow assembly to the bath according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
Position the pad under the bath supports.
Position and adjust the bath until its outside edge is flush with the framing.
Verify that the bath is level and well supported by the subfloor.
If the bath is not level, shim using metal, hardwood, or other durable material. Reposition and shim the bath until it is aligned with the framing and level.
Install a Mortar Cement Bed (Optional)
Remove the bath and pad from the alcove.
NOTE: Do not use plaster, gypsum cement, or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide adequate structural support.
