Aquatic 1177 Información De Instalación página 2

NOTICE: Please inspect the unit thoroughly before installation to make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. Under no
circumstances should a damaged unit be installed. Neither Aquatic nor the distributor will be responsible for removal or reinstallation costs
should a replacement be necessary due to installation of a damaged unit.
PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
1. Review job print and Aquatic rough-in dimensions; verify all key dimensions against actual job conditions.
2. Make sure framed-in alcove is of proper size, square and plumb; check floor for level.
3. If fire-rated alcove 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 alcove must have interior dimensions shown on rough-in diagram to permit installation of unit.
4. Industrial plaster, mortar mix or non shrink grout (herein referred to as foundation materials) is strongly recommended for
firmer bottom support and is mandatory in all commercial structures (i.e., hotels, motels, dormitories, healthclubs, etc.).
5. Shower stalls require a 6" (150mm) diameter floor opening for 2" (50mm) IPS drain fitting connection. (See Diagram 1A)
6. Tub/Showers require a 6" x 12" (150mm x 305mm) floor opening for the 1 ½" (40mm) drain, waste and overflow (DWO)
kit. (See Diagram 1B)
7. Make sure all plumbing is complete and to code.
8. To avoid obstruction, make sure that supply lines and valve plumbing do not project into alcove during the installation
process. Also, drain pipe must not project above floor level prior to installation.
9. On inside of plumbing wet wall of unit, note location of supply elbow and mixer valve. (see "Tubs and Shower
Mounted Fittings" below)
10. To prevent scuffing while installing unit, cover the floor of the unit with a piece of cardboard or other protective material.
11. 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.
Tub and Shower Mounted Fittings:
If mounting fittings on tub or shower, from stable reference points (back wall studs, floor), measure the locations of spout and
valves. Note measurements:
