NOTICE: Please inspect the unit thoroughly before installation to make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. Under
no circumstances should a damaged unit be installed. Neither Aquatic Bath nor the distributor will be responsible for removal or
reinstallation costs should a replacement be necessary due to installation of a damaged unit.
*Please read ALL installation instructions completely before beginning.
1. Review job print and Aquatic rough-in dimensions; verify all
key dimensions against actual job conditions.
2. In remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide
a vertical nailing surface for the side nailing flanges of bath
fixture product.
3. Make sure framed-in framing pocket is of proper size, square
and plumb; check floor for level. Some shimming between
the stud frame and fixture may be required.
4. If fire-rated framing pocket is required, approved finish
material must be in place prior to unit installation to meet fire
safety requirements of local building code and/or FHA/HUD
Minimum Property Standards.
NOTE: Finished framing pocket must have interior
dimensions shown on rough-in diagram to permit
installation of unit.
5. Industrial plaster, mortar mix or non shrink grout (herein
referred to as foundation materials) is strongly recommended
for firmer bottom support and is mandatory in all commercial
structures (i.e., hotels, motels, dormitories, healthclubs, etc.).
6. DO NOT install the product over open floor joist. Shimming
may be required for additional support, if subfloor is uneven.

8. Make sure all plumbing is complete and to code.
9. To avoid obstruction, make sure that supply lines and valve
plumbing do not project into framing pocket during the
installation process.

unit with a piece of cardboard or other protective material.
