Sterling Plumbing ADA Adaptable Bath and Wall Surrounds 7114 Series - Manual (Page 19)

Position the Bath (cont.)
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.
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.
NOTICE: Do not remove the clips that are attached to the bath. The clips are
required to ensure proper installation of the walls.
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.
If the bath cannot be directly bonded to the subfloor or if decreased movement is
desired, consider installing an optional mortar cement bed.
Install a Mortar Cement Bed (Optional)
NOTE: If a mortar cement bed will be installed, the pad is not required.
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.
NOTE: The bath supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Build a dam to keep the flooring material clear of the drain area.
Spread a 2
″ (5.1 cm) layer of mortar cement on the subfloor, spreading it so that
each area of the bath that will contact the subfloor has mortar cement. Do not
spread the mortar cement around the drain area. Allow room for the mortar
cement to expand from the weight of the bath.
Immediately move the bath into position.
Verify that the bath is level and resting on all supports.
Clean the bath to reduce the risk of damaging the surface.
Place a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom and over the
outside edge of the bath. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the unit.
Positionner la baignoire
NOTICE: Ne pas soulever ni déplacer la baignoire par le bandeau ou des montants
du bandeau. Afin d’éviter d’endommager la baignoire, soulever sur les côtés de la
baignoire.
NOTICE: Ne pas supporter le poids de charge de la baignoire par le périmètre du
rebord. Le périmètre du rebord doit être soutenu de manière adéquate, mais il ne doit
pas supporter le poids de charge de la baignoire.
REMARQUE: Garder une bâche de protection en place au fond de la baignoire
jusqu’à ce que la construction soit complète.
