Before You Begin (cont.)

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Only apply 100% silicone sealant to the areas where instructed to do so. Do not add silicone sealant to any other areas. The inappropriate use of silicone sealant may trap moisture and could result in mold, leakage, or mildew. For bath-only installations, 100% silicone sealant is required at the seams of the walls and the bath. We recommend using colored 100% silicone sealant to match the color of the product. Use of latex based or other caulks is not recommended.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath using the apron brace. Lift the bath by the rim at multiple points. Bath units in a single carton are shipped with apron braces in the closed position. Bath units in multi-pack cartons are shipped with one or more sets of apron braces disconnected at the apron. Connect the apron braces to the apron before removing the unit from the carton(s).

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. To avoid rust marks on your product, ensure the roofing nails or non-tapered flathead screws are galvanized or plated. If using galvanized or plated non-tapered flathead screws, do not overtighten the screws. Excessive tightening can damage the wall flange. Consult local building codes to determine if the screws or nails must be galvanized or plated.

NOTICE: The bath cannot be installed without the wall surrounds.

NOTICE: If your bath is shipped with a liner, keep the liner in place until construction is complete to prevent surface damage to the unit. If a liner is not available, place a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath.

Read all instructions before you begin.

Observe all applicable plumbing and building codes.

This bath is designed for alcove installations.

Upon receipt, check for shortages or damage. Report any shortages or damage immediately.

Do not remove the old fixture before you unpack and inspect the new unit.

Store the bath and wall surrounds in a safe place until you begin installation to avoid damage.

If remodeling, measure the existing framework before removing the old bath to make sure that the new bath will fit. Make sure that the drain is in the correct location.

Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the water supply and drain installation.

The apron panel is not removable on bath units.

Baths with wall surrounds can be ordered with factory-installed backer kits for grab bars. Only factory-installed grab bars are shipped as ADA compliant. However, wall surrounds with backer kits are ADA adaptable if the grab bar design and installation meet ADA requirements. It is the installer’s responsibility to consider these factors when supplying and installing grab bars to the factory-installed backer kits.

ADA Considerations

Consider the path of the wheelchair user when building the clear floor space. Be sure that there is sufficient room for a wheelchair user to enter the room and maneuver the wheelchair to the unit.
