Remove the stainless steel strainer from the drain
assembly. Disassemble the locknut and two gaskets
from the back of the drain assembly. Apply a 1/4" bead
of caulking (silicone) to the drain hole and insert the
drain assembly. Replace the rubber washer, fiber
washer, and lock nut in that order. Hand tighten the
locknut. Remove excess sealant from finished side.
Apply a lubricant (common household liquid soap
works well) to the inside of the rubber seal of the drain
assembly.

With a large screwdriver and the tool included with the
drain, tighten the inside compression nut to seal the drain
pipe connection. After drain is fully installed, test for
proper drainage. If the shower base does not drain
properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with the
installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not respon-
sible for removal and/or reinstallation costs.

BLOCKING
SHIM IF NECESSARY
Install cement board. Apply tile (or other finishing
material) leaving a 1/8" gap between the finishing mate-
rial and the shower base flange lip. Seal this gap with
silicone sealant. Leave a minimum 1/4" weep hole at the
back and front corners of the shower base. The weep
holes are necessary to allow drainage from leakage
through unsealed tiled grout.
Filling the area marked DO NOT FILL will prevent
moisture from draining back into the base through the
weep holes. This moisture is due to leakage through the
tile grout. Sealing the tile grout will prevent this leakage.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR J-STONE SHOWER BASE
Never use abrasive or gritty powder cleaners, pads or
sharp instruments when cleaning the shower base. Al-
ways clean with mild household detergent. Persistent
stains, paint or tar should be removed with turpentine,
paint thinner or household glass cleaner.
