GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION ... 1. When installing the coordinating bath walls (2946BW series for example), additional studs may be required. Refer to those installation instructions prior to installing tub. 2. Bath walls are to be installed over stud walls. 3. Bath may only be installed in a recess type installation. 4. It is recommended that the 2946 Studio Tub be set in a small bed of mortar or grout to copensate for uneven floors.

2 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 (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below. The rim of the bath MUST NOT support weight.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor. Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface. Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or stains may ® be removed using granular Spic and Span mixed with water. Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
