Subfloor
Prepare the subfloor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
The drain/overflow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical
1
Specifications Manual that corresponds with your bathtub.
Make appropriate cuts to the subfloor to accommodate the drain.

Jacuzzi's Tru-Level™ base is a standard feature on all bathtubs. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface,
3
no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to the "Installation" section.
If the subfloor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing the bathtub. The materials used
4
will insure that the bathtub is supported from the bottom. These materials include: leveling compound, mortar,
plaster or minimal expansion structural foam (having a density of a minimum 5lbs/cubic foot). The bathtub must
remain level in order for it to drain properly and must make contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint
or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
