NOTICE: For baths with apron braces: Lift the bath at multiple points on its sides
when moving the bath into position. Do not lift the or move the bath by the apron or
apron braces located underneath the bath rim.
NOTICE: 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 polypropylene 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.

Reposition and shim the bath until it is aligned with the framing and level.
If decreased movement is desired, consider installing an optional mortar cement
bed.
