Secure Bath to Subfloor
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
Do not lift the bath by the rim. Lift the bath
from the bottom only.
NOTICE:
The bath must be secured using one of the following two methods: cement
or mortar bed or construction adhesive.
NOTICE:
Ensure the subfloor is level before proceeding. If necessary, use shims to
achieve level.
Cement or Mortar Bed Method
NOTICE:
Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound, as these materials will
not provide a durable bond. Only use cement or mortar.
Spread a 2
″
(5.1 cm) thick later of cement or mortar on the subfloor
except
where
the leveling blocks will be located.
Clear any cement or mortar away from the leveling block locations.
Place a plastic liner or similar material over the cement or mortar.
With help, carefully move the bath into the installation area.
Verify the leveling blocks are resting directly on the subfloor. Reposition as
needed.
Verify the bath is: (1) level across the top of the bath and (2) plumb along the
drain side. If the bath is not level, shims must be used under the leveling blocks.
Connect the drain tailpiece to the trap.
Construction Adhesive Method
Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of
the leveling blocks.
With help, carefully move the bath into the installation area.
Verify the leveling blocks are resting directly on the subfloor. Reposition or shim
as needed.
Verify the bath is: (1) level across the top of the bath and (2) plumb along the
drain side. If the bath is not level, shims must be used under the bath.
