Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. Do not drill or install a fastener through the bath
flange when securing the bath to stud walls. The bath may leak if the bath flange is punctured in any
way.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not apply clear 100% silicone sealant to the bath unless
instructed to do so. If applied improperly, sealant may trap moisture and cause leaks, mold, or mildew.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not install the bath over open floor joists. The basin area
requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with the stud framing.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Bath units shipped in a single carton already have braces
installed. Bath units shipped in multi-pack cartons may need apron braces connected before removal from
the shipping cartons.
IMPORTANT! Risk of product damage. Do not lift the bath from the carton by using the apron brace. Lift
the bath by the rim at multiple points.
NOTE: Install the bath on an adequately supported, level subfloor. Use shims for additional support if the
subfloor is uneven.
NOTE: Use only clear 100% silicone sealant. Latex, caulks, or siliconized latex sealants may not provide
water and mildew resistance over the life of the product.
NOTE: If your bath is shipped with a liner, keep the liner in place until construction is complete to
prevent surface damage to the unit. If a liner is not available, place a clean drop cloth or similar material
in the bottom of the bath.
Read all instructions before you begin.
Observe all applicable plumbing and building codes.
This bath is designed for alcove installations.
