PREPARING THE TUB
1. Install the plumbing rough-in on the deck (unless factory installed). For easier access to plumbing,
an additional access hole may be cut out of the side in an ALCOVE or CORNER installation:
- See pages 12-13 for cutting dimension limitations. Use a skillsaw to make the cut. Adjust
the foot of the saw to the thickness of the material (approx. 5/8" to 1") to ensure that you
don't harm any existing plumbing (if factory/already installed).
2. For ALCOVE and CORNER installations, you must attach the flange(s) to the side(s) of the tub on
any side that will be against framing.
a. Lay a bead of silicone on either the flange or on the tub where the flange will be attached.
b. Next, screw the nailing flange(s) to the tub.
c. Place the foil tape on the outside corner to continue the back nailing flange.
d. Lay one final bead of silicone to the joint of the tub and nailing flange.
3. Install the waste/overflow assembly and connect the door drain fitting to the drain.
