Cement or Mortar Bed Method
Clear spaces for
leveling blocks.
Spread a 2" (5.1 cm)
layer of cement or
mortar bed material.
2. Secure the Bath
NOTICE: The bath must be secured using one of the following two methods: cement or mortar bed or
construction adhesive.
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 layer 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 lower the bath through the cutout opening in the deck. Take extra precaution to
avoid damaging the lighting, false wall, deck, and the transducers mounted to the bath.
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.
Construction Adhesive Method
Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the leveling blocks.
With help, carefully lower the bath through the cutout opening in the deck. Take extra precaution to
avoid damaging the lighting, false wall, deck, and the transducers mounted to the bath.
Verify the leveling blocks are resting directly on the subfloor. Reposition or shim as needed.
Ensure the rim is contacting the deck. Shim underneath the leveling blocks, if necessary.
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.
