4. Secure the Bath with Airjets to the Subfloor - Standard
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath with airjets by the piping or blower
motor, or use the piping or blower motor for structural support of the bath.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the bath with airjets by the rim.
Choose the installation option that best applies to your particular installation. Follow the
appropriate instructions.
If the subfloor is not level, shim the bath support blocks as necessary.
Option for Using a Cement or Mortar Bed
NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide an
acceptable, durable bond.
Spread a 2" (5 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subfloor where the bath will be set. This
will help secure, level, and support the unit. Clear all the material away from the four support block
locations.
Position a piece of plastic drop cloth material on top of the cement or mortar bed.
With help, carefully lift the bath into place, and make sure the blower motor control and support
blocks do not rest in the bed material.
Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the bath is level and resting on all support blocks.
Remove the protective tape from the rim.
Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant around the entire rim of the bath. Allow
the sealant to cure as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Option for Using Construction Adhesive
Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.
With help, carefully lift the bath into position.
Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the bath is level and resting on all support blocks.
