Construct the Framing - Drop-In (cont.)
NOTICE: The bath may be installed in either a drop-in or an island installation. For
drop-in installations: A cutout in the floor with decking on all four sides is required.
A framework and subfloor must be added below the deck. The deck positions the
bath while the framework and subfloor support the bath. For island installations: A
built-up, four-sided surround (typically made of brick or concrete) is required. The
floor that the built-up surround rests on supports the bath. The surround only
positions the bath.
NOTE: Be sure to provide adequate floor support. Refer to the specification sheet for
the water capacity.
NOTICE: Do not support the load weight of the bath by the perimeter of the rim.
The rim perimeter must be adequately supported, but must not support the load
weight of the bath.
For Drop-In Installations
Carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. Use the cut-out template, if one
is provided, or refer to the applicable diagram in the "Roughing-In" section.
Allow clearance to install the drain assembly and the water supply piping.
Construct an access panel at the plumbing end of the fixture.
NOTE: The subfloor must be no lower than 18-3/4" (47.6 cm) below the deck. The
subfloor installation should allow 1/16" (2 mm) clearance for sealant between the
island and the lower rim of the empty bath.
Construct a 2x4 or 2x6 frame with plywood subfloor below the deck.
Make sure the subfloor is flat and level.
For Island Installations
Carefully lay out the masonry work. Consider whether the finished tile will be
flush with the bath or installed under the rim.
Make sure that the subfloor is flat and level.
Allow clearance to install the drain assembly and the water supply piping.
Construct an access panel at the plumbing end of the fixture.
NOTE: The subfloor must be no lower than 18-3/4" (47.6 cm) below the masonry
island. The subfloor installation should allow 1/16" (2 mm) clearance for sealant
between the island and the lower rim of the empty bath.
Construct the island of brick or concrete.
Add tile or other finish material, leaving a 1/16" (2 mm) clearance for silicone
sealant between the island and the rim of the bath.
Construire le cadre - Encastré
NOTICE: La baignoire pourrait être encastrée ou installée sur un podium. Pour
installations encastrées: Une découpe dans le plancher avec une plateforme sur les
quatre côtés est requise. Une charpente et un plancher doivent être ajoutés sous le
comptoir. Le comptoir devrait être positionné de manière à ce que la baignoire soit
supportée à la fois par la charpente et le plancher. Pour les installations sur podium:
La construction d'un encadrement à quatre côtés (généralement en briques ou en
béton) est requise. Le sol sur lequel l'encadrement repose, supporte la baignoire.
L'encadrement positionne seulement la baignoire.
REMARQUE: S'assurer de fournir un support de sol adéquat. Se référer à la fiche de
spécifications pour la capacité d'eau.
