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 ensure 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 provided to
enable final electrical connections and service. Please
refer to the minimum recommended access panel size
listed in the Equipment Access Section of this manual.
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 equip-
ment support bases which are joined for shipment 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
warranty.
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 installations, a bed of mortar may also be recom-
mended 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 installation. If the bath is tiled in, remove
the necessary portion of the film when installing the tile.
