Important! These instructions include suggestions for rough
construction, drywall installation and plumbing installation that we
believe to be reliable. Local building codes vary by location and could
supersede those suggestions. If you are not confident in your ability
to perform these tasks, you should use a professional installer or
contract out those tasks you need help with.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
1. Read these instructions and confirm that tub will fit in the intended alcove
and that the drain end is located where required before beginning
installation.
2. The alcove wall studs should be located as shown in Illustration 1 and
be plumb. If the studs are not plumb, shimming may be required. It is
important that a stud is located as shown (*) for attachment of the vertical
flange on each side of the tub apron. If you are installing our matching
wall set, there must be a stud on each side at the back corner as shown
(**). If you are remodeling, and a stud is not at that exact location, add
a new one. Other studs should be located according to local building
codes.
• Rough plumbing must be installed before tub and/or wall panels.
Illustration 2 shows suggested location of fixtures if new plumbing is
being installed. Provide an access panel on the back side of the wall
with the plumbing fixtures. If plumbing exists, check that fixtures will
clear tub and panels. All plumbing must meet local building codes.
• The tub must be installed on a solid and level sub-floor that is square
with the wall studs. The tub support must sit directly on a level sub-
floor.
• Use the cutout from the tub carton to protect the tub from damage
during installation.
• The tub and wall set should not be installed in areas where the
temperature may drop below freezing (32ºF or 0ºC).
• Allow tub and wall set to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before
installing.
Important: The alcove studs must be plumb and square to the floor!
Inside corners of the alcove should be square (refer to Illustration 3).
3. Special installations:
• Above the floor drains
Create a platform of 2 x 4's (or taller depending on drain requirements)
to raise the entire tub area and cover it with sub-flooring. This platform
must be level and square to the wall studs. When installing plumbing,
add platform height to the dimensions shown in Illustration 2.
• Masonry walls
Construct a 2 x 6 stud wall for the plumbing end. Apply 2 x 2 furring
strips to the masonry wall in the same locations as the studs in
Illustration 1.
• Installation over greenboard or firewalls
If you are installing wall panels over greenboard and/or firewall material,
and not directly on the studs, your dimensions must take into account
the thickness of this material and measurements should be taken from
the inside of the finished walls.
