Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. Do not drill or install a fastener through the bath
flange when securing the bath to stud walls. The bath may leak if the bath flange is punctured in any
way.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not apply clear 100% silicone sealant to the bath unless
instructed to do so. If applied improperly, sealant may trap moisture and cause leaks, mold, or mildew.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not install the bath over open floor joists. The basin area
requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with the stud framing.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Bath units shipped in a single carton already have braces
installed. Bath units shipped in multi-pack cartons may need apron braces connected before removal from
the shipping cartons.
IMPORTANT! To avoid water damage, apply clear 100% silicone sealant to the seam where the walls meet
the bath, and along the bottom edge of the apron.
NOTE: Install the bath on an adequately supported, level subfloor. Use shims for additional support if the
subfloor is uneven.
NOTE: Use only clear 100% silicone sealant. Latex, caulks, or siliconized latex sealants may not provide
water and mildew resistance over the life of the product.
Read all instructions before you begin.
Observe all applicable plumbing and building codes.
This bath is designed for alcove installations.
If remodeling, measure the existing framework before removing the old bath to make sure that the
new one will fit. Make sure that the drain is in the correct location.
Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the water supply and drain installation.
Check for missing parts or damage to the bath. Report any missing parts or damage immediately.
