TILE FLANGE - FACTORY-INSTALLED
1. Determine mounting height of tub.
2. Make sure tub is properly bedded and level from front to back
and side to side.
3. Screw through the flange into studs. No pre-drilling is necessary.
The tile flange is not designed to support the weight of the tub!
4. Seal / fill the void between the tile flange and tub with clear silicone.
TILE FLANGE KIT – FIELD INSTALLATION
1. Clean tub flange.
2. Apply supplied adhesive to tub flange and tile flange with brush, being careful not to get adhesive on top of tub.
3. Position tub 2-3" from wall.
4. Apply tile flange to tub flange.
5. Position the tub against the walls. Adhesive will set in five minutes.
6. Seal / fill the void between the tile flange and tub with clear silicone.
7. Trim any excess flange.
INTEGRAL TILE FLANGE
Determine mounting height of front ange of tub. If installing
with optional skirt, mounting height is the height of the skirt.
With front ange at proper height, shim tub until level. Care-
fully drill 1/8" holes through the tile ange at each stud loca-
tion. Use bedding compound to support tub to correct height.
Secure to stud with screws, being careful not to over-tighten
as this may cause acrylic to crack or chip. Do not attempt to
drive nails through the integral ange. See images at right.
PRE-LEVELED FRAME
Place tub into proper location and attach to oor or studs with 2" screws drilled through frame. This system
does not require bedding compound unless suboor is uneven and unit must be shimmed to achieve level. The
pre-leveled frame adds approximately 1/2"-3" to the height of the bath.
