Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. The
bath must be supported by the leveling blocks only or bath base, depending upon
your bath model. If the load weight of the bath is supported by the perimeter of
the bath rim, damage will occur
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Carefully plan moving the bath into the installation area. This bath will not easily
fit through doorways.
When planning the installation area, provide access to all final plumbing
connections for servicing.
To ensure a successful installation, the floor must be level.
Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed
with the bath for specific floor loading requirements.
This bath is designed for drop-in or raised-deck installations only.
If an optional apron will be used: construct the required additional support and
install the optional apron before the finished floor and wall materials are
completed. Refer to the installation instructions packed with the apron.
Do not select a rim-mount faucet for this bath. Instead, select a deck-mount or
wall-mount faucet.
If the finished wall material will come into contact with any top surface of the
bath, it is recommended that tiling-in bead be installed. The tiling-in bead
prevents water from seeping behind the wall and allows for an alcove installation
of many drop-in baths when a flanged version is not available.
The basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and
square with the stud framing. Consider using shims for additional support if the
subfloor is uneven.
Provide properly dimensioned framing.
The illustrations shown may not represent your actual product. The installation
instructions still apply.
This bath conforms to ANSI standard Z124.1.2. All dimensions are nominal.
