STEP 1
Provide an opening in the subfloor no less than 5" x 5"
square. This opening should be located on the center
linesoftheshowerbasedrainhole(SeeProductChart).
The opening is to accommodate a 2" waste pipe. The
waste pipe should be 1/4" to 1/2" above the surface of
the subfloor.

STEP 3
If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is neces-
sary. Youcanproceedtoinstallthe showerbase. Ifthe
subfloor is not level, level shower base by spreading
floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal
expansion structural foam with a minimum density of 5
lbs./cubic feet EVENLY over ENTIRE area where base
will be installed. The compound used MUST make
contactwiththeentirebottomsurfaceofthebase. Both
sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to
each other. Level and support waste pipe cutout area
greater than 5" x 5". The base is NOT to be supported
by the tile flange.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 2
Remove the stainless steel strainer from the drain
assembly. Disassemble the locknut and two gaskets
from the back of the drain assembly. Apply a 1/4" bead
ofcaulking(silicone)tothedrainholeandinsertthedrain

and lock nut in that order. Hand tighten the locknut.
Remove excess sealant from finished side.

STEP 5
With a large screwdriver and the tool included with the
drain, tighten the inside compression nut to seal the
drain pipe connection. After drain is fully installed, test
for proper drainage. If the shower base does not drain
properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with
theinstallation. JacuzziWhirlpoolBathisnotrespon-
sible for removal and/ or reinstallation costs.
NOTE: Watertight installation of the drain is the
installer’sresponsibility. Drainleakageisexcluded
from the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath warranty.
Replace the strainer and tape over the drain hole to
prevent finishing material from entering drain.
STEP 4
With the drain fitting passing over the center of the
drainpipe, lower the shower base carefully into place,
push down firmly until the base is in place. You must
check the level of the base in two directions. Do not lift
a corner to level the base. This will cause a loss of
contact with the mortar. Attach the shower base flange
to the stud wall and blocking with self-drilling screws
(included). Use a minimum of 3 screws per flange
section.
NOTE: Ifthereisanygapbetweenbase flangeand
stud or blocking, shims MUST be used to prevent
distortion or cracking of the flange.

Applytile(orotherfinishingmaterial)leavinga1/8"gap
between the finishing material and the shower base
flange lip. Seal this gap with silicone sealant. Leave a
minimum 1/4" gap at the back and front corners of the
shower base to allow drainage from leakage through
unsealed tiled grout.
STEP 6
Place cement board or equivalent on top of shower
base flange and secure to studwall.
STEP 8
Filling the area marked DO NOT FILL will prevent
moisture from draining back into the base through the
weepholes. Thismoistureisduetoleakagethroughthe
tilegrout. Sealingthetilegroutwillpreventthisleakage.
CLEAN-UP AFTER INSTALLATION
To avoid dulling and scratching the acrylic surface of
the base, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid
detergent and warm water clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge.
Metal tools scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or
groutcan be removedif lightlyrubbedwith detergent on
a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint,tar,orotherdifficultstainscanberemovedwith
paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color
finish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit
wet/drysandpaper. You canrestore the glossyfinish to
theacrylic surfaceofthebasewithaspecialcompound,
Meguiar’s #10 Mirror Glaze. If not available, use auto-
motive rubbing compound followed by an application of
automotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the
acrylic surface require refinishing. Ask your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath dealer for special instructions.
