shower base over the drain, see Figure 2. With the drain tting passing over the center of the drain pipe, lower the

Shower Base Installation Instructions (Continued)
Do not lift a corner to level the base. This will result in loss of contact with the mortar.
Attach the shower base ange to the stud wall and blocking with the stainless-steel screws provided. Use a minimum of three
screws per ange section, see Figure 4. If there is a gap between the base ange and the stud or blocking, a shim must be
used to prevent distortion or cracking of the ange.
Use the stainless-steel screws provided.
If there is any gap between the base ange and stud or blocking, shims must be used.
Tighten the drain as directed by the instructions that came with the drain kit. After the drain is fully installed, test for proper
drainage.
If the shower base does not drain properly, correct this condition before proceeding with the installation.
Watertight installation is the installer’s responsibility, as drain leakage is excluded from the Warranty. Jacuzzi is
not responsible for reinstallation costs.

Note: If sub-floor
is not level, use
mortar or leveling
compound. Spread
evenly over the
entire area.
Note: The compound must make contact with the
entire bottom surface of the shower base. The
shower base is not to be supported by the base flange.
Install drain before lowering
into place. Refer to your model
if drain is included.
Figure 3
For front to back leveling, if level extends to
the front dam, shim may be necessary at the
back of the base as the front dam is higher.
