Flooring
NOTICE:
Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the rough-in guide
packed with the bath for specific floor loading requirements.
Install adequate floor support.
NOTICE:
To ensure a successful installation, it is critical that the bath be installed on
a level subfloor.
Verify the subfloor is level. Adjust for level, if necessary.
For freestanding installations, apply water-resistant sealant to the subfloor. This
will reduce the risk of water damage.
Framing – For Drop-In Installations
CAUTION: Risk of property damage.
Do not support the bath by the rim. The
bath must be supported by the feet only.
NOTICE:
Take into account the thickness of the finished wall materials when
constructing the framing. If these factors are not taken into account, the bath will not
fit in the installation area.
NOTICE:
To ensure the bath does not rest on the rim, a 1/16
″
(2 mm) gap must exist
between the underside of the rim and the framing. When constructing the framing,
take into account the 1/16
″
(2 mm) gap and the thickness of the finished wall/deck
material. If these factors are not taken into account, the bath will not fit in the
installation area.
Construct the framing according to the roughing-in information packed with the
bath. Ensure a 1/16
″
(2 mm) gap will exist between the underside of the rim and
the framing.
