GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ROUGH-IN:
Test fit the tub and verify dimensions. Your Jetta bath should be installed in a bedding compound, preferably a mortar mix or thin set,
which should be distributed under the base to provide maximum support and even weight distribution. Do not use foam, sand or drywall
mud. When leveling, prepare a bed of moist mortar in the area where bath is to be installed. Place equally spaced mounds of bedding
compound, about one foot apart, 2” to 4” tall - this should be about the diameter of a three-pound coffee tin (8”-10”). When the bottom
of the tub comes in contact with the bedding compound, it should compress the mounds to a 1” to 3” layer while the tub should lightly
rest on top of the tub deck. Once the bedding compound dries, all the weight will be carried through the floor of the tub, not suspended
by its lip. Carefully level the unit, ensuring that uniform support is given to all areas of the base and that no portion of the lip is bearing
weight.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE BATH BY THE RIM!
Your Jetta bath has a pre-leveled lip that accounts for the sloped floor
towards the drain.
DO NOT REMOVE
the 1” x 1” drain board attached to the bottom of the tub. It is recommended that plastic is laid
between the bedding compound and the bath, in case removal of the bath is ever necessary.
If the pump is removed for any reason, use only union connections to reattach. Do not overtighten. Make sure the O-rings on the pump
are in place. Hand tighten pump fittings. Do not use a wrench, channel locks, or pipe dope (Teflon paste).
Pump must be located between 1/2” to 1 1/2” above suction fitting. Make sure suction line will drain from pump to bath. A minimum
access panel of 14” x 10” must be provided in case the pump or air blower needs to be serviced at a later date.
IMPORTANT: MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REMOVAL OR RE-INSTALLATION OF THE
BATHTUB IF THERE IS A FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANU-FACTURERS RECOMMENDED PRE-INSTALLATION
AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURES, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS
COULD RESULT IN THE WARRANTY BEING VOIDED.
