Installation; Framing And Support - Jacuzzi PURE AIR II Amiga Instructions D'installation Et De Fonctionnement

frAmINg AND SUPPort

The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the
bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to
support a total weight of bath, water, and bather. refer to
the table under total weight for your model. The unit must
be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the
bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level and a continuous
surface, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed
to install the bath. If the subfloor is not level, you mUSt
level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. The use of
materials that provide a level installation are allowed provided
the method used will insure a level bath that is supported from
the bottom. Materials that may be used are a floor leveling
compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural
foam with a density of a minimum of 5 pounds per cubic foot
(lb/ft 3 ). However the bath must remain level in order for it to
drain properly, and all foam feet must make full contact with
the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor
should be level to each other. When attaching baths with
flanges to the stud wall, use shims that fill any gaps between
the bath flange and studs.
The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish
material is to overlap or contact the bath, the added weight
must be fully self-supporting.
The protective film liner inside the bath is used to prevent
damage to the finish during installation. Before installation,
remove the liner to inspect it for any defects, and reapply and
do not remove until final cleanup.
ImPortANt: If a skirt is to be used, it must be installed at the
time of unit installation.
Install optional trim parts when all installation has been
completed.
