NOTICE: Do not support the bath by the rim.

NOTICE: Refer to the Roughing-in Guide packed with this product for proper minimum lbs/square foot

(kg/square meter) ﬂoor support loading.

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.

Make sure the ﬂooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subﬂoor is ﬂat and

level.

four side surround. In both instances, make sure the deck is supported by brick or concrete.

Install an access panel to allow the blower to be serviced.

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.
