Framing and Support
The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and bather.
Refer to the
table under total weight for your model.
The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and
not
from the bath rim
or nailing flange. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install
the bath.
If the subfloor is not level, you
MUST
level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. The use of materials that shim
or provide a level installation are allowed provided the method used will insure a level bath that is supported from the bottom.
Materials that may be used are a floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam; however the
bath must remain level in order for it to drain properly and all foam feet must make full contact with the leveling material. Both
sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added weight
must be fully self-supporting.
Install optional trim parts when all installation has been completed.
The protective film liner inside the bath is used to help prevent damage to the finish during installation. Before
installation, remove liner to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not remove until final cleanup.
