additional information.

Flooring

NOTICE: Provide adequate ﬂoor support.

Install adequate ﬂoor support.

NOTICE: To ensure a successful installation, it is important that the bath be installed on a level subﬂoor.

Verify the subﬂoor is level. Adjust for level, if necessary.

Framing

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not support the bath by the rim. The bath must be

supported by the support blocks only.

NOTICE: Use wood or concrete framing for the bath frame. Wood framing will provide the best

vibracoustic quality.

NOTICE: If installing the control ampliﬁer between studs, stud spacing should be 16″ (406 mm).

NOTE: The framing illustrated is less ﬁnished wall and deck materials. Allow for wall and deck material

thicknesses when framing. When planning the construction of the framing, take into account the thickness

of the ﬁnished deck and access panel materials.

NOTICE: To ensure the bath does not rest on the rim, provide a minimum 1/16″ (2 mm) gap between the

framing and the underside of the rim.

NOTICE: This bath must be installed as a drop-in or island installation. If a deck-mount faucet will be

installed, plan a space on the deck to accommodate the faucet.

Construct the framing.
