Installation and Framing Instructions

Each bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with the pump and plumbing necessary for operation. However, a drain/overflow kit is required for each bath and it is not included.

The variety of installations for this bath may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb, and square.

!Remove the bath from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has been made. Do not lift the bath by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only.

!All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. Prior to installation and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling.

!The sumps of these baths are supported by the feet and no additional sump support is required. Once the bath is in place, the feet should be shimmed and secured accordingly so the rim of the bath contacts the stringer or pier but supports no weight.

!Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing the bath pump. Unless an access opening of at least 12" x 24" (305mm x 610mm) is provided, warranty service will not be performed. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to drain components.

!Each bath has a nominal length (L), width (W), and Height (H) along with a rim height. Unless otherwise noted in the following rough-in references, assume that the nominal tolerances are as much as +/-1/4 inch (6mm). Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the installer build the surrounding structure after receiving the actual bath. Structural measurements should be verified against the actual bath received to ensure proper fit.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP

Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.

Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.

Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.

Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.

Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
