3. Secure the Bath

For All Installations

Install the drain to the bath according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Do not connect the

trap at this time.

Using a clean drop cloth or similar material, cover the bottom of the bath and the airjets. This will

protect the bath surface and components from being scratched or damaged during the installation

process.

Secure Bath to the Subﬂoor

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath 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 by the rim.

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

construction adhesive, or silicone sealant. Choose the installation option that best applies to your

particular installation. Follow the appropriate instructions.

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

Cement or Mortar Bed Method

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

bond. Only use cement or mortar.

Spread a 2″ (5.1 cm) thick later of cement or mortar on the subﬂoor except where the leveling blocks

will be located.

Clear any cement or mortar away from the leveling block locations.

Place a plastic liner or similar material over the cement or mortar.

With help, carefully move the bath into the installation area. Make sure the blower motor control

and leveling blocks do not rest in the bed material.

Verify the leveling blocks are resting directly on the subﬂoor. Reposition as needed.

Verify the bath is level across the top of the bath. If the bath is not level, shims must be used under

the leveling blocks.

Connect the drain tailpiece to the trap.

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 according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clear spaces

for leveling

blocks.

Apply a bead of

silicone sealant

around the entire

rim.

Apply construction

adhesive to the

leveling blocks.

Spread a 2" (5.1 cm)

layer of cement or

mortar bed material.
