INSTALLATION
See the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS section
of this owner's manual, prior to Installation, for humidity and
mold prevention suggestions.
1. Finish Frame. A finish frame under the shell rim should
also always be constructed to support the bath deck and in-
sure proper drainage toward the bath well. This frame is not
intended to support the full bath weight (see Figures 1 & 2).
Jason offers a removable lateral skirt for most baths.
The skirts are available in matching acrylic colors and
provide convenient access to bath equipment as well as
an excellent finished appearance. However, if Jason's
lateral skirt is not used, an access panel MUST be pro-
vided to enable final electrical connections and service.
If a Jason lateral skirt is to be used, the bath deck must
be leveled at 20.5" (52cm) from the support floor or the
skirt will not fit properly.
Allow ample clearance for the equipment.
CAUTION: Ambient temperature under the bath
where equipment is installed must not exceed 122°F
(50°C).
2. 100% Silicone with mildew resistant properties should be
applied between the water resistant backer board and the
deck of the bath. NOTE: If you use a tile flange kit, modify
the framing to support the bath lip as shown in Figure 1.
3. Install the drain and overflow assembly to the bath shell
according to the instructions provided with the drain and
position the bath in the area of intended installation.
4. Finish plumbing rough-in of drain and overflow

assembly. At this time, considerations should be made for
the position and mounting of the faucet set, as well as all
related plumbing.
5. Remove the packing board before installing
the bath. The bath is equipped with separate bath
equipment support bases which are joined for ship-
ment with packing boards. Detach the packing board
from the bath and from underneath the equipment.
WARNING: Any modification to the equipment is not
recommended and will void the Manufacturer's war-
ranty.
6. Install the bath level for proper drainage. Jason
baths are designed to be supported at the base of the
bath. If the floor is smooth and level, the baths' Level
Form™ Base will provide proper drainage and support
(See Figure 3).
7.
Mortar is required when the sub floor is not smooth and
level; when additional sound insulation is desired; or when
the bath is installed in a drop-in application. In alcove in-
stallations, a bed of mortar may also be recommended to
aid in leveling the bath. NOTE: Do not use a sand bed to
install or level the bath.
8. Secure the bottom of all equipment mounts so that it is
level with the bottom of the bath. Position the bath in the
area of intended installation and cut the equipment support
strap(s) to allow the equipment to rest firmly on the floor. We
recommend securing the equipment mounts to the floor with
removable fasteners for ease of servicing.
9. Protect the acrylic bath surface from damage during
installation with a suitable material, i.e., cardboard and/
or plastic film. The acrylic surface of this bath has been
provided with a protective film which helps protect the bath
during shipment and installation. Additional protection may
also be required to protect the acrylic surface during instal-
lation. If the bath is tiled in, remove the necessary portion
of the film when installing the tile.
