2. Prepare the Site - Concrete Construction

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim.
NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your bath
for specific floor loading requirements.
NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed
location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor
closer than 1" (2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.
NOTE: This bath may be installed in a drop-in or an island installation. An island installation requires a
four side surround. In both instances, make sure the deck is supported by brick or concrete.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
Provide an access panel to service the blower motor and control.
Construct brick or concrete supports.
Provide a 1/16" (2 mm) gap between the bath rim and the concrete or brick framing. Frame the
floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation, in accordance with the roughing-in information
packed with the bath.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.

3. Prepare the Bath

Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath to protect the finish. Ensure
that the airjets are covered. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the bath.
NOTE: This bath allows the blower motor and check valve to remain on the bath support board (standard
installation) it is shipped on or to be relocated to another location (remote installation). Refer to your
applicable installation, standard or remote, throughout this installation guide.
We recommend a tiling-in bead for this product if one or more sides of the bath contact a wall. This
bead prevents water from seeping between the bath rim and the wall. Follow the instructions
included with the tiling-in bead, and install the bead now.
Follow the appropriate installation steps for either standard or remote blower installations.
