English
Remove the shower base from the carton. Do not destroy the shipping carton until after satisfactory inspection of the
product. Should initial inspection reveal any damage or defect in the shower nish, do not install the shower base. Jacuzzi
Luxury Bath’s responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon delivery of the product in good order to the carrier. Refer any
claims of damage to the carrier. Any damage or defect claimed after installation is excluded from the warranty. Jacuzzi
is not responsible for any defect or damage that could have been discovered, repaired, or avoided by following this
inspection and testing procedure.
Plan the installation in relation to the nished wall surfaces. Take into account the dimensions of both the shower base and
the door enclosure. Install the optional trim parts after all other installation is completed.
Provide a minimum 5" x 5” opening in the suboor. The opening should be located on the center lines ( ) of the base
drain hole. Refer to technical product specications which can be found at www.jacuzzi.com/baths/support/specs-and-
manuals/. The opening is to accommodate a 2” waste pipe. The waste pipe should be 1/4" to 1/2” above the surface
of the suboor, see Figure 1. If the suboor is level, no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to install the base. If the
suboor is not level, level the shower base by spreading a oor-leveling compound, mortar, plaster, or minimal expansion
structural foam with a density of 5 pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft
³
) minimum, see Figure 2 (page 4).
NOTE: The compound must make contact with the entire bottom surface of the base feet. The base is not to be supported
by the base ange. Both sides of a joint or splice of sub-oor should be level to each other.
