Secure the Bath – Leveling Block Models
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not lift the bath by the rim. Lift the bath
from the bottom only.
NOTICE: The bath must be secured using one of the following three methods:
cement or mortar bed, construction adhesive, or silicone sealant.
NOTICE: Ensure the subfloor is level before proceeding. If necessary, use shims to
achieve level.
Cement or Mortar Bed Method
NOTICE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound, as these materials will
not provide a durable bond. Only use cement or mortar.
Spread a 2
″
(5.1 cm) thick later of cement or mortar on the subfloor except where
the leveling blocks will be located.
Clear any cement or mortar away from the leveling block locations.
Place a plastic liner or similar material over the cement or mortar.
With help, carefully move the bath into the installation area.
Verify the leveling blocks are resting directly on the subfloor. Reposition as
needed.
Verify the bath is level across the top of the bath. If the bath is not level, shims
must be used under the leveling blocks.
Connect the drain tailpiece to the trap.
Construction Adhesive Method
Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of
the leveling blocks.
With help, carefully move the bath into the installation area.
Verify the leveling blocks are resting directly on the subfloor. Reposition or shim
as needed.
