Espree™ Bathtub Series

Introduction

The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom
of the bath. Please refer to the "Technical Specifications"
section for dimensions and rough-in information.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to
support a total weight of bath, water, and bather. Refer
to the table under total weight for your model.
The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and
not from the bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level
and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary.
You can proceed to install the bath. If the subfloor is not
level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing
the bath. The use of materials that shim or provide a level
installation are allowed provided the method used will insure
a level bath that is supported from the bottom. Materials that
may be used are a floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster
or minimal expansion structural foam having a density of a
minimum of 5 lbs./cubic ft.; however, the bath must remain
level in order for it to drain properly and all foam feet must
make full contact with the leveling material. Both sides of
a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
When attaching baths with flanges to stud wall, use shims to
fill any gaps between the bath flange and studs.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If
finish material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added
weight must be fully self-supporting.
