The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the
bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support
a total weight of bath, water, and bather. Refer to the table
under total weight for your model. The unit must be supported
from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or tile
flange. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface, no
other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the
bath. If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the entire
surface prior to installing the bath. The use of materials that
provide a level installation are allowed provided the method
used will insure a level bath that is supported from the bottom.
Materials that may be used are a floor leveling compound,
mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam having
a density of a minimum of 5 lbs./cubic feet; however the bath
must remain level in order for it to drain properly and all foam

feet must make full contact with the leveling material. Both
sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each
other. When attaching baths with flanges to stud wall, use
shims to fill any gaps between the bath flange and studs.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish
material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added weight
must be fully self-supporting.
The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent
damage to the finish during installation. Before installation,
remove liner to inspect for any defects, reapply and do not
remove until final cleanup.

at the time of unit installation, refer to skirt installation
instructions. Install optional trim parts when all installation has
been completed.
