AirMasseur
®
Ventilation (AM, MA or AW baths)
A minimum ventilation opening of 2” x 4” [5x10cm] for the
AirMasseur blower is required. It should be designed to
draw in indoor ambient air at a minimum of 72°F [22°C].
3. Drain and Overflow
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. Finish
plumbing rough-in of drain and overflow assembly. At this
time, considerations should be made for the position and
mounting of the faucet set, as well as all related plumbing.
4.
Packing Board Removal
The bath is equipped with separate bath equipment sup-
port bases which are joined for shipment with packing
boards. Before installing the bath, 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 war-
ranty.
5. Level Installation
The bath must be installed level to ensure proper draining.
To verify, use a level on top of the deck on both ends and
front of the bath. Jason baths are designed to be support-
ed at the base of the bath. If the floor is smooth and level,
the bath’s Level Form™ Base will provide proper drainage
and support (see
Figure 3
).
Mortar is required when the subfloor is not smooth and
level or when additional sound insulation is desired.
Note:
Do not use a sand bed to install or level the bath.

INSTALLATION
1.
Finish Frame
A finish frame under the shell rim should always be
constructed to support the bath deck and ensure proper
drainage toward the bath well. This frame is not intended
to support the full bath weight. See
Figures 1 and 2
. Allow
ample clearance for any equipment that may installed on
the bath.
CAUTION: Ambient temperature under the bath where
equipment is installed must not exceed 122°F (50°C).
Drop In Framing
The drop in opening should approximately one (1) inch
[2.5cm] less than the outer dimensions of the bath. Full
size templates are included with the bath packaging for
oval tubs.
