2. Install the Bath

NOTICE: The bath must be secured using one of the following two methods: mortar cement bed or

construction adhesive.

NOTICE: Ensure the subﬂoor is level before proceeding. If necessary, use shims to level.

IMPORTANT! Provide a means to route the user-interface cable through the wall to the control ampliﬁer.

Mortar Cement Bed Method

NOTICE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound, as these materials will not provide a durable

bond. Only use mortar cement.

Spread a 2″ (51 mm) thick layer of mortar cement on the subﬂoor.

With help, carefully lower the bath through the cutout opening in the deck. Take extra precaution to

avoid damaging the transducers, cables, and (if equipped) chromatherapy control mounted to the

bath.

Verify the bath is level across the top of the bath. If the bath is not level, install shims under the

support blocks.

Place a clean drop cloth on the bottom of the bath basin to protect the bath surface.

Construction Adhesive Method

Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.

With help, carefully move the bath into the alcove. Take extra precaution to avoid damaging the

transducers, cables, and (if equipped) chromatherapy control mounted to the bath.

Verify the support blocks are resting directly on the subﬂoor. Reposition or shim as needed.

Verify the bath is level across the top of the bath. If the bath is not level, install shims under the

support blocks.

Place a clean drop cloth on the bottom of the bath basin to protect the bath surface.
