10. Use a drywall plane or deburring tool to rid the CleanCut Convertible of any remaining pieces.
11. Place the CleanCut Convertible into position. Use a small pocket mirror and look for areas on the
CleanCut Convertible that may be catching and prohibiting it from freefalling onto the tub. Use the
jigsaw or drywall plane to trim the CleanCut Convertible where necessary.
12. Continue this process and repeat as necessary until a desirable close fit is achieved. The CleanCut
Convertible should free fall onto the tub without catching or binding.
13. Having completed use of the jigsaw and routing tool, take a moment to tidy the tub and work area.
Support Structure & Waterproof Membrane Installation
Once the CleanCut Convertible has been cut and a satisfactory fit into the tub opening has been achieved, it
will be necessary to assemble the support box structure to provide support to the CleanCut Convertible.
Once the support box has been properly positioned, a waterproof membrane will be applied to the open cut
out channel. An example of the CleanCut Convertible and the support structure and waterproof membrane
is illustrated in Figure 6.
The CleanCut Support box structure consists of one small and one large Support Box. The
large support box will compress over the top of the small box to the necessary height to
provide support to the CleanCut Convertible.
It is important to understand that each tub has variations and modifications may be
necessary in the field. For fiberglass and other types of tubs, it may be necessary to
adjust the installation of the support boxes based on the framing or support material
present on the inside channel of the tub. For example, you may only need to use one of
the support structures based on the height of the bathtub.
1. It may be necessary to adjust the Support Box structure according to the conditions present
during your installation. For example, for wooden sub-floors, begin by screwing a treated 2x4
directly to the sub-floor to serve as the base for our support structure. For concrete floors, a
treated 2x4 is adhered directly to the concrete floor. The 2x4 might need to be cut into several
sections if there is a support brace in the cut out channel.
