2. Plumbing Preparation

Position the plumbing supplies and drain trap according to the roughing-in dimensions. Cap the
supplies and check for leaks.
Install the drain on the footbath according to the drain manufacturer's instructions. When installing
the drain overflow tube and hood, be sure to adequately seal along the edges of the hood to prevent
leakage.

3. Install the Footbath

Double studs for the wall jambs must be square and plumb within 3/8" (1cm) for proper door
installation.
Connection from the pump to the tower will be made using the subassembly that is attached to the
suction line of the footbath harness for shipping. Wires are connected to the pump.
Use a tin snips to cut the straps securing the pump and place the pump in the desired location
Remove and discard the plug on the top of the pump.
Set the footbath on the subfloor. Align the trap with the tailpiece.
Position a clean drop cloth in the footbath to prevent damage.
Confirm that the footbath is level using a level on the rim surfaces. Do not use the nailing-in flange
to level the unit.
NOTE: The footbath must be level to properly install and operate the door.
Place shims under the wood blocks as needed to level the footbath.
NOTE: Drill the holes in the nailing-in flange from the finished side to avoid chipping the acrylic.
From the finished side of the nailing-in flange, drill and countersink the pilot holes halfway up the
nailing-in flange at each stud location. Use galvanized drywall screws to secure the footbath to the
studs.
Add furring strips to the stud framing inside the recess area to ensure the studs are even with the
nailing-in flange.
