Typical Installations
The entire bottom surface of the tub base must be supported. To accomplish this, a bed of mortar or low shrinkage
plaster can be applied under the tub base at the time of final setting. The amount of material used should be
sufficient only to level the bath unit and not to raise it. Level the bath unit along the top edge of the rim when
the setting bed is applied. Allow the setting material to set completely before applying weight to the bath. This
procedure is essential to ensure the bath unit has proper support and drainage. The rim of the bath unit is not
designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the bath unit, the added weight of the
material must be fully self-supporting.

SERVICE aCCESS
The system does not require an external access panel for service. Access
to the jet motors, the control electronics and the electrical service
connections is accomplished from inside the tub. The command pad,
located on the side of the tub, provides an internal panel through which
the control electronics and electrical service connection can be accessed
for service. An unobstructed clearance area of 2 inches is required to the
left, right, bottom and rear of the box indicated at right in order to allow
service access. This area must not contain any ledger boards, supports or
vertical studs.
FRaMIng anD SUPPORT
The drain extends below the bottom of the bath and requires a cutout in the floor. The floor structure beneath
the bath must be able to support the total weight of the bath, water, and bather. The Minimum Floor Structural
Requirement recommended is 100 pounds per square foot.
