A.) THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM.
We recommend the use of mortar as bedding material (sand is not
recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete
bottom of the bath. After the bedding has been poured, and before it
sets, position the bath within the recess until the rim is leveled against
the leveling stringers (Fig. 3) shown below. The rim of the bath MUST
NOT support weight. Allow the bedding material to completely harden
before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath.
C.) Any finish material such as tile or wallboard must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
Flooring will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron, also holding the tub in place.
B.) Check level front to back and side to side, shim as necessary. To secure the tub to wood studs, use drywall
screws with flatwashers or roofing nails immediately above the flange of the bath. To secure the tub to steel
studs, use 4" (102mm) drywall screws and flatwashers. (Fig. 4)
