Bathe Easy Solarna User manual

Solarna
INSTALLATION GUIDE
The bath is supplied with 7 adjustable feet. 5 are
fitted with 2 outrigger legs supplied loose. It has a
water capacity of 215 Litres unoccupied. Bath is
filled only when user has entered and shut the door
consequently taps must be thermostatically
controlled.
Installation is similar as for a standard bath except
that twin wastes are supplied to increase drainage
rate & to ensure the bath can be drained if one
waste fails. The bath should be installed rigidly to
ensure there is no movement or sagging of the floor
when bath is used.
Consideration should be given to lowering the
wastes below the floor level to keep the step
threshold to a minimum to assist customer’s ability
to step into the bath. Use only shallow waste traps.
If fitting in an alcove ensure the bath freely goes
into position as sideways pressure can distort the
doorway.

1) Manoeuvre bath into bathroom carefully.
2) Secure the 2 Bath feet supplied loose to the
plastic sockets underneath the bath.
3) Drill and affix Taps.
4) Fit waste, overflow and waste trap supplied.
5) Place bath in position and adjust to minimum
height.
Note: It is advisable to fix batten runs on to the
floor under the bath feet to avoid extending the
legs to far & to ensure feet sit squarely and flat.
On a wooden floor batten runs (3” x 2” minimum)
should be positioned squarely across the floor
boards to spread the load.
6) Level the bath in all planes using the 7 adjustable
feet & then lock the feet. Ensure the bath foot
under the doorway is cranked up to support the
foot well.
7) Mark wall fixings and plumbing runs.
8) Remove bath, drill in wall fixings where accessible
and run plumbing into position.
9) Re-position bath and fix to the floor via all four
bath-feet.
10) Connect plumbing. Refer to fitting guides for the
Thermostatic valve and Pump if supplied.
11) Test plumbing for leaks and pump operation.
12) Fill bath to maximum and leave for about 20
minutes to test door seal.
13) While the bath seal is being tested position and
trim to size the front and side panels.
14) Mark bottom of panels onto floor base. Fix battens
along floor behind panels.
15) Refit front and side panels. Drill through bottom
into batten and top into bath wooden frame. Push
fit panels onto the retaining clips prefitted on the
bath sides. Do not use Silicone sealant as this
prevents service access.
