Installation Instructions; Installation Procedure - Aquatic A2 Serie Instrucciones De Instalación

PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
1. Review job print and Aquatic rough-in dimensions; verify all key dimensions against actual job conditions. MUST INSURE ROUGH
DIMENSIONS ARE PROPER AND SQUARE.
2. Locate studs as required and in remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a vertical nailing surface for the side nailing
flanges of the Aquatic fixture.
3. Make sure framed-in framing pocket is of proper size, square and plumb; check floor for level. Some shimming between the stud frame and
fixture may be required.
4. DO NOT install the product over open floor joist. Product should not require any additional support if the subfloor is square and level with
framing. Shimming or foundation material may be required for additional support, if subfloor is uneven.
5. If fire-rated framing pocket is required, approved finish material must be in place prior to unit installation to meet fire safety requirements of
local building code and/or FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards. NOTE: Finished framing pocket must have interior dimensions shown on
rough-in diagram to permit installation of unit.
6. Industrial plaster, mortar mix or lightweight grout (herein referred to as foundation materials) is recommended for firmer bottom support.
7. Tubs require a 6" x 12" (150mm x 305mm) floor opening for the 1 1/2" (40mm) drain, waste and overflow (DWO) kit (see diagram 1).
NOTE: Be sure floor opening location matches left-hand or right-hand bath fixture drain location.
8. To ensure proper installation of the fixture, all local plumbing and building codes must be observed. Local building codes vary by location and
you are responsible for insuring plumbing is complete and to code.
9. To avoid obstruction, make sure that supply lines and valve plumbing do not project into framing pocket during the installation process. Also,
drain pipe must not project above floor level prior to installation.
10. On inside of plumbing wet wall of unit, note location of supply elbow and mixer valve.
Tub Mounted Fittings: If mounting fittings on tub, from stable reference points
(back wall studs, floor), measure the locations of spout and valves. Note measurements: Tub Filler: _____________ Valve: _____________
11. To prevent scuffing while installing unit, cover the floor of the unit with a piece of cardboard or other protective material.
12. Fasteners for: Wood framing – 1 1/2" galvanized roofing nails or #10 x 1 1/2" self-tapping washer head screws.
Concrete or block walls – 1" concrete nails and nailing tool.
Steel studs (18 ga.) – drill flanges and studs with 5/32" carbide bit and use #12 x 1" sheet metal screws.
NOTE: Always pre-drill no matter what fastener is to be used.
13. The slots on the horizontal surface near the nailing flange are used when installing the matching Aquatic wall system. These slots can be
covered with wall material during a tub only installation.
