Before You Begin
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Install the bath on an adequately
supported, level subfloor. The basin area requires no additional support when the
subfloor is level and square with the stud framing. Use shims for additional
support if the subfloor is uneven. Do not install the bath over open floor joists.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not remove the foam backing from the
wall surround sections. Wall surround sections are equipped with foam backing
to bring the back of the wall into contact with the regular stud framing. This
foam is not packing material.
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. If a shower door will be added, you will be
instructed to apply silicone sealant where the front edges of the end wall
surrounds will meet the bath. This will prevent water from passing through the
shower door extrusion to the back side of the wall. Follow the shower door and
silicone sealant manufacturer’s instructions.
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.
IMPORTANT! 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.
