Water Supply and Drain Connections
Refer to, and follow, the assembly and
installation instructions provided with the
supply valves and drain system. Carefully
check all connections for leaks.
Finishing Guidelines
Filler strips or filler material may be required
over the framing to ensure the under lay-
ment mounts flush over the nailing flanges.
A water resistant under layment is recom-
mended surrounding the unit. Stop the
under layment 1/16 to 1/8-inch from the unit
surface, and fill the space with a continuous
bead of water resistant sealant. (Illust. 6)
NOTE: Oasis recommends a high qual-
ity silicone based sealant with a mold and
mildew resistant content.
Use care when fastening the under layment
near the unit surface to avoid damage. Seal
the under layment seams and edges, as
required, and install the finish material to
specifications.

collect residues from soap, bath additives
and natural body oils. Additional deposits
can also collect from minerals or particles
found in the water. After each use, wipe the
excess water from the unit.This practice
will reduce the buildup of deposits and help
maintain the natural unit lustre.

an application of quality automotive wax
will help reduce major accumulations. The
actual schedule for cleaning and waxing will
depend on unit usage and water quality.
