CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath by the rim.
NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your bath
for specific floor loading requirements.
NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed
location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor
closer than 1" (2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.
NOTE: This bath may be installed in a drop-in or an island installation. An island installation requires a
four side surround. In both instances, make sure the deck is supported by brick or concrete.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
Provide access panels as required to service the blower motor and control.
Construct brick or concrete supports.
Provide a 1/16" (2 mm) gap between the bath rim and the concrete or brick framing. Frame the
floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation, in accordance with the roughing-in information
packed with the bath.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
