INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)

7.  Mortar is required when the subfloor 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 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 servic-
ing.

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.  Ad-
ditional 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.
