Cleanup - Jacuzzi PRIMÓ Manual De Instalación

Installation Procedures (Cont)
4. When fastening wood framing, pre-drill flanges with a ⅛" (5mm) carbide bit and fasten using #8 x 1 ½" (38mm) self-tapping
sheet metal screws; to concrete/block walls use 1" (25mm) concrete nails with nailing tool or impact.
NOTE
Pre-drilling and nailing flanges is recommended to avoid cracking of the acrylic unit. Silicone the top of each fastener to
insure water tightness.
5. Spot-fasten the two bottom corners and the two top corners of the vertical side nailing flange.
6. Nail/fasten at each stud through the topside flanges at each stud 16" (405mm) on center, working from both ends toward
back center. Complete the fastening through vertical side flange, approximately 8" (205mm) on center.
When other than cementitious backer board is to be used,
4
furring strips as thick as nailing flanges are recommended for
installation on studs above the installed unit to assure walls
will be flush. 100% silicone sealant with mildew resistant
properties should be applied between the backer board and
horizontal surface of unit (Figure 7). Then finished wall
materials can be applied.
Finishing of other trades should be done in conformance with
5
applicable codes and generally accepted building practices.
Use a hole saw (fine tooth or abrasive grit cutting edge) to
6
drill holes for deck mounted tub fittings.
Connect flex water supply lines to faucet, connect bathtub
7
drains and plug power cords into GFCI outlets.
Turn on the power supply to the dedicated GFCI protected
8
circuits and check system operation.
Caulk around the perimeter of bathtub to seal the space
9
between the rim and the finished deck.
CAUTION
Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the entire seam
between the counter and the bathtub rim. Allow sealant to cure
according to manufacturer's instructions.

Cleanup

To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the bathtub, never use abrasive cleaners. For most soiled surfaces, a mild liquid
detergent and warm water is sufficient. The following is also recommended:
•
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Spots left by plaster or grout can be removed if lightly rubbed with
detergent on a damp cloth or sponge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or other metal tools, as they will damage the
bathtub's surface.
•
Paint, tar, or other difficult stains can be removed with Fantastik® or soapy water.
•
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit wet/dry sandpaper.
You can restore the glossy finish to the acrylic surface of the bathtub with a special compound, Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze. If
that is not available, use automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste wax.
•
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the acrylic surface will require refinishing. Call Jacuzzi Luxury Bath to find a
service agent in your area.
