Framing and Support
The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of approximately 94 lb/sq. ft. (bath,
water, and bather). If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath.
If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. (Use a floor leveling compound.)
Do not level bath with mortar. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
Before final setting of the bath, route the steam hoses from under the shell through the cutout in the rim. Unwind the
speaker wires from under the bath rim on both sides. When final setting, the speaker wires must be routed under the
1x4.
For units with TV, unwind audio cables, fan and TV power cords.
The protective film liner inside the bath should be left there to prevent damage to the finish from shoes, tools, etc. during
installation and should not be removed until final cleanup.
Typical Installation
NOTE: Finished floor must be at the same level as the floor supporting the bath for the skirt to fit properly.
