3 WALL BASE INSTALLATION
STEP 5
With a large screwdriver and the tool included with the
drain, tighten the inside compression nut to seal the
drain pipe connection. After drain is fully installed, test
for proper drainage. If the shower base does not drain
properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with
the installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not respon-
sible for removal and/ or reinstallation costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the
installer’s responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded
from the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath warranty.
Replace the strainer and tape over the drain hole to
prevent finishing material from entering drain.
STEP 4
With the drain fitting passing over the center of the
drainpipe, lower the shower base carefully into place,
push down firmly until the base is in place. You must
check the level of the base in two directions. Do not lift
a corner to level the base. This will cause a loss of
contact with the mortar. Attach the shower base flange
to the stud wall and blocking with self-drilling screws
(included). Use a minimum of 3 screws per flange
section.
NOTE: If there is any gap between base flange and
stud or blocking, shims MUST be used to prevent
distortion or cracking of the flange.
