INSTALLATION -
SUB FLOOR MUST BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND & FREE OF MOVEMENT / FLEXING
The tub is provided with an integral base for easier installation. Position the bath on the floor and slide into place until the
tub is resting on the rear stringer. The base does not need to contact the floor for proper installation. The base on the
2396 and 2397 models is raised above the floor to facilitate drain installation. Check level, front to back and side to side.
Also check drain clearance hole in sub floor. To secure the tub to wood studs, use sheet rock screws with washers
immediately above the flange of the tub. To secure the tub to steel studs, use drywall screws and flat washers.
(See Step 4)
Caution: Take Extra Care When Driving Nails or Screws To Avoid Damaging The Tub.
The tile or similar finished floor will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron also holding the tub in place.
NOTE: Warranty will be voided if the drain is installed after the tub has been set in place.
