Construct the Framing (cont.)
Install a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz electrical outlet protected by a GFCI or RCD. The outlet must be located
on the side of the bath opposite the footwell drain outlet, within 24" (610 mm) of the controller.
Units with the heated surface feature will require a second electrical outlet within 24" (610 mm) of
the heated surface controller.
NOTE: Drain #1 is the sidewall drain/valve outlet. Drain #2 is the overflow and footwell drain outlet.
Drain #3 is the receptor tray drain outlet.
NOTE: Three drains are required for this product. Drains #1 and #2 require a 10" (254 mm) x 10" (254
mm) cutout.
NOTE: Drain #3, the receptor tray drain, requires a 10" (254 mm) x 10" (254 mm) cutout if access from
below is available. If above-the floor access is required to make the connections, a 10" (254 mm) x 16" (406
mm) cutout is required to allow access. The 10" (254 mm) wide cutout is critical to prevent subfloor
contact with the drain area of the receptor tray. If the subfloor and drain come into contact, enlarge the
cutout as needed or raise the bath using the adjustable feet. The receptor tray must be level and the drain
must rest comfortably through the subfloor.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for the bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
The bath should be installed in an alcove installation. Construct a 2x4 or 2x6 frame.
Position the plumbing. Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.
Provide adequate ventilation and at least 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) of open air space for cooling
the motor and supplying sufficient air to the blower. Do not install the blower motor closer than 1"
(25 mm) to the wall or other objects.
IMPORTANT! Use the chart below as a general guideline. Every installation varies. Hallways, corners,
stairways and other obstacles should be taken into account when determining how much disassembly is
required. Avoid unnecessary disassembly when possible.
