Installation Instructions Continued (All Models)
Do not lift a corner to level the base. This will result in loss of contact with the mortar.
CAUTION
Attach the shower base flange to the stud wall and blocking with the stainless-steel screws provided. Use a minimum of three
5
screws per flange section, see Figure 8. If there is a gap between the base flange and the stud or blocking, a shim must be
used to prevent distortion or cracking of the flange.
CAUTION Use the stainless-steel screws provided.

IMPORTANT

If there is any gap between the base flange and stud or blocking, shims must be used.
Tighten the drain as directed by the instructions that came with the drain kit. After the drain is fully installed, test for proper
6
drainage.
If the shower base does not drain properly, correct this condition before proceeding with the installation.
CAUTION
Watertight installation is the installer's responsibility, as drain leakage is excluded from the Warranty. Jacuzzi is
not responsible for reinstallation costs.
Replace the strainer, if your drain kit came with one, and tape over the drain
7
hole to prevent finishing material from entering the drain. Place a
cement board or equivalent on top of the shower base flange and
secure to studwall, see Figure 9.
Apply tile, or other finishing material, leaving a 1/8" gap between the
8
finishing material and the flange lip of the shower base. Seal this gap with
a silicone sealant. Leave a minimum 1/4" weep hole at the back and front
corners of the shower base, see Figures 10 and 11. Add 100% silicone under the tile and backer board on top of the dam
only (see Figures 7 and 10). Refer to local building codes for proper finishing or other trades.
