instALLAtiOn instRuctiOns (cont.)
Mortar is required when the subfloor is not smooth and
8.
level; when additional sound insulation is desired; or when
the bath is installed in a drop-in application. In alcove
installations, a bed of mortar may also be recommended
to aid in leveling the bath.
NOTe: Do not use a sand bed
to install or level the bath.
Secure the bottom of all equipment mounts so that it
9.
is level with the bottom of the bath.
Position the bath
in the area of intended installation and cut the equipment
support strap(s) to allow the equipment to rest firmly on the
floor. We recommend securing the equipment mounts to
the floor with removable fasteners for ease of servicing.
protect the acrylic bath surface from damage during
10.
installation with a suitable material, i.e., cardboard
and/or plastic film.
The acrylic surface of this bath has
been provided with a protective film which helps protect the
bath during shipment and installation. Additional protection
may also be required to protect the acrylic surface during
installation. If the bath is tiled in, remove the necessary
portion of the film when installing the tile.
REmOtE mOunting OF AiR bLOwER
The Jason AirMasseur system has been factory installed
following E.T.L. Guidelines. During installation, if remote
mounting of the blower is desired or required, the following
procedures should be followed.
NOTe:
Do not remote mount the blower more than 15
feet (457cm) away from the air inlet of the bath. Choose
a location as close as possible to the bath to assure
maximum efficiency.
The installer must determine the layout of the piping;
1.
exact remote mount location; and service access before
beginning any work. Use 1.5” (38mm) ABS or PVC
plastic tubing. Locate the blower in an area accessible
for servicing.
NOTe: A 15 foot extension replace-
ment cable set can be purchased from your Jason
supplier, if needed. To insure proper functioning
of the system, avoid remote mounting in a location
which requires more than six (6) piping direction
changes. A 90° direction change should be made
up of two 45° elbows for maximum efficiency.
If the blower has been factory installed, disconnect the
2.
blower from the air bath plumbing by removing the two
(2) screws on the check valve outlet and disconnect the
short piece of flex pipe between the check valve and
the elbow by removing the two (2) screws in the elbow.
(Omit this step on baths where the blower is not factory
installed and remote mounting is required.)
Install the blower in the remote location. The remote
3.
mount locations’ ambient air temperature should remain
at approximately 22°C (72°F) for optimum air heating.
Make sure the blower is well ventilated. The blower
4.
mount should be attached firmly to the floor. Piping
between the remote blower location and the bath can
be insulated using a minimum of 1/2” (13mm) thick
insulation. Attach new piping to the elbow of the existing
piping.
