INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
6. Integral Tile Lip Alcove Installation
After the bath has been leveled, confirm the height mea-
surement of the underside of the flange deck in order to
install a 1”x2” ledger strip to support the tile lip flange (see
Figure 4
).
Figure
4
Install the 1” x 2” support ledger strip to the framing to
allow support along the entire rear ledge of the bath (see
Figures 2 and 5
).
Figure 5
Carefully drill 1/8” holes through the tile flange at each stud
location.
NOTE:
Be sure not to drill the hole at an angle as this can
cause negative draft on the flange and result in water pool-
ing on the deck.
Secure the flange to the stud with screws making sure the
screws are installed parallel to the bath to avoid negative
draft.
WARNING: To prevent damaging the acrylic, be careful
not to over-tighten the screws.
7. Tile Flange
100% Silicone with mildew resistant properties should be
applied between the water resistant backer board and the
deck of the deck.
Note:
If you use a tile flange kit, modify the framing to sup-
port the bath lip as shown in
Figure 6.

8. Secure Equipment Mounts
Once the bath is positioned in the area of intended installa-
tion, cut the equipment support strap(s) to allow the equip-
ment to rest firmly, level with the bottom of the bath, on the
floor. We recommend securing the equipment mounts to
the floor with removable fasteners for ease of servicing.
9. Acrylic Bath Surface
The acrylic surface of this bath has been provided with a
protective film which helps protect the bath during ship-
ment and installation. If the bath is tiled in, remove the
necessary portion of the film when installing the tile.
Additional protection may also be required to protect the
acrylic surface during installation. Protect the acrylic bath
surface from damage during installation with a suitable
material, i.e. cardboard and/or plastic film.
10. Cleaning
Remove all loose debris. Construction plaster or excess
grout can be removed with the use of a wood (edge)
trowel. Paint or tar stains may need to be removed with
a cleaner such as paint thinner, turpentine or rubbing al-
cohol. Never allow the cleaner to soak against the acrylic
surface for long periods of time.
Always rinse the surface
immediately following the use of cleaners.
11. Water Testing
Before finishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath be water tested and any plumbing tested for leaks.
