INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Install the drain and overflow assembly to the bath shell
according to the instructions provided with the drain and
position the bath in the area of intended installation.
5. Finish plumbing rough-in of drain and overflow assembly.
At this time, considerations should be made for the posi-
tion and mounting of the faucet set, as well as all related
plumbing.
6. Remove the packing board before installing the
bath. The bath is equipped with separate bath equip-
ment support bases which are joined for shipment with
packing boards. Detach the packing board from the bath
and from underneath the equipment.
WARNING: Any modification to the equipment is
not recommended and will void the Manufacturer’s
warranty.
7. Install the bath level for proper drainage. Jason baths
are designed to be supported at the base of the bath.
If the floor is smooth and level, the baths’ Level Form™
Base will provide proper drainage and support (See
Figure 3).
8. Mortar is required when the subfloor is not smooth and
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
or foam to install or level the bath.
9. Secure the bottom of all equipment mounts so that it
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.
10. Protect the acrylic bath surface from damage during
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.
INSTALLATION
See the USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS section
of this owner’s manual, prior to installation, for humidity and
mold prevention suggestions.
1. Finish Frame A finish frame under the shell rim should
always be constructed to support the bath deck and en-
sure proper drainage toward the bath well. This frame is
not intended to support the full bath weight (see Figures
1 & 2).
Jason offers a removable lateral skirt for most baths.
The skirts are available in matching acrylic colors
and provide convenient access to bath equipment, as
well as an excellent finished appearance. However, if
Jason’s lateral skirt is not used, an access panel MUST
be provided to enable final electrical connections and
service. Please refer to the minimum recommended ac-
cess panel size listed in the Equipment Access Section
of this manual.
If a Jason lateral skirt is to be used, the bath deck must
be leveled at 20.5" (52cm) from the support floor or the
skirt will not fit properly.
CAUTION: Make sure the support frame is drilled
and/or notched as needed to assure that the On/
Off air actuator switch and air tube are not bound
or pinched.
Allow ample clearance for the equipment. Whirlpools
with optional front pump mounts may require a minimum
of 1" clearance beyond the front and pump side lip of the
bath to allow clearance of the pump.
CAUTION: Ambient temperature under the bath where
equipment is installed must not exceed 50°C (122°F).
2. 100% Silicone with mildew-resistant properties should be
applied between the water-resistant backer board and the
deck of the bath. NOTE: If you use a tile flange kit, modify
the framing to support the bath lip as shown in Figure 1.
3. For
AirMasseur
®
models, a minimum ventilation open-
ing of 2" x 4" (5 x 10 cm) for the blower is required, and
should be designed to draw in indoor ambient air at a
minimum 22°C (72°F).
