8. After the nished oor is installed, position the installation
template on the nished oor. Place the template to line up
with the existing oor drain location and orient the template
to the desired position. NOTE: Sump area location cutout;
remote blower tubing oor location cutout; and water inlet
stubout location must line up with the template. Transfer the
centerlines of the template to the nished oor. (CAUTION:
use a marker that can be removed from the nished oor

16.Attach the faucet accessories to the bath (if applicable).
CAUTION: There is not enough room to mount a deck
mounted diverter valve on the deck of the bath. If a hand-
held shower is desired consider a oor mounted faucet
or a faucet with an above deck diverter.
17.Place two 2” x 4” boards approximately four (4) feet in
length across the top of the skirt.
18.Set the bath on top of the 2” x 4” boards.
19.Attach stainless steel ex plumbing from the deck-mounted
faucet to the stubouts (if applicable). NOTE: Flex plumbing
lines must be long enough so the bath can be removed
from the skirt if access is required in the future. 1/2” four
(4) foot stainless steel ex hoses may be purchased from
Jason International, Inc.

If a oor mounted faucet is desired, be sure to install the
faucet to allow for sufcient overhang into the well of the
bath. This will insure an unobstructed water ow out of the
faucet when lling the bath. Follow the faucet manufacturers
installation instructions.

REMOTE MOUNTING OF AIR BLOWER
Do not remote mount the blower and control box more
than 15 feet away from the air inlet of the bath. Choose a
location as close as possible to the bath to assure maximum
efciency.
1. The installer is to determine the layout of the piping,
exact remote mount location, and service access before
beginning any work.
Use 1.5” ABS or PVC plastic tubing. Locate the control box
with the blower in an area accessible for servicing.
NOTE: A 15 foot extension replacement cable set can be
purchased from your Jason supplier if needed.
To insure proper functioning of the system, avoid remote
mounting in a location which requires more than six (6)
piping direction changes. A 90° direction change should
be made up of two 45° elbows for maximum efciency.
2. Disconnect the blower from the bath plumbing by removing
the two (2) screws on the check valve outlet and disconnect
the short piece of ex pipe between the check valve and
the elbow by removing the two (2) screws in the elbow.
3. Install the blower and control box in the remote location.
A minimum ventilation opening of 2” x 4” for the blower is
required, and should be designed to draw in indoor ambient
air at a minimum of 22°C (72°F).The blower mount should
be attached rmly to the oor.
4. Attach the piping to the blower’s check valve. Use screws
to attach the pipe to the check valve and route the hose to
the remote blower tubing oor cutout location. CAUTION:
Do NOT use ABS or PVC glue near the blower, it could
ignite and cause a re.

the bath can be insulated using a minimum of 1/2” thick
insulation.
WARNING: Any modication to the equipment is not
recommended and will void the manufacturers warranty.
6. Attach one end of the hose to the bath connection and
attach the other end of the hose to the 1-1/2” PVC pipe
that is plumbed to the blower with the included clamps.
7. The keypad cable, remote control cable (if applicable), and
the light cable must be routed through the oor cutout and
connected to the control box. WARNING: When routing

Use the tie buttons attached to the bath to support the
cables.
NOTE: A minimum of four (4) feet of hose and cable must
be free from binding to allow for pulling the cables back
up through the oor cutout. When installing on a cement
slab a conduit may be used if desired to run the cable from
the bath to the control box. This will allow the bath to be
lifted and removed from the skirt if access is required in
the future.
During installation if it is preferred to run the blower hose
on top of the oor, a 2 1/2” diameter hole can be drilled in
the toe kick area of the skirt. A means to cover the hole,
hose, and wires is not provided. 
8. Before nishing the installation, it is recommended that the
bath controls be tested without lling the bath with water
to assure all electric connections are properly working.
