Catalina™ Shower Base Installation Instructions
Figure 1. Preliminary Rough-in (See Product Chart for drain location)
Remove the shower base from the carton. Do not destroy the shipping carton until after satisfactory inspection of the
1
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
2
the door enclosure. Install the optional trim parts after all other installation is completed.
Provide a minimum 5 x 5” opening in the suboor. The opening should be located on the center lines ( ) of the base drain
3
hole, see Product Chart. The opening is to acommodate a 2” waste pipe. The waste pipe should be 1/4 to 1/2” above the
surface of the suboor, see Figure 1. If the suboor is level, no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to install the base.
If the suboor is not level, level the shower base by spreading a oor-leveling compund, mortar, plaster, or minimal
expansion structural foam with a density of 5 pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³) minimum.
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.

Clean Up After Installation
• The acrylic nish will give long-lasting beauty when properly maintained. To avoid dulling and scratching of the nish, never
use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. A mild liquid detergent and warm water will clean soiled surfaces.
• Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge. Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster or grout can be
removed if lightly rubbed with a mild detergent and a damp cloth or sponge.
• Minor scratches that do not penetrate the color nish can be removed by lightly sanding the surface with a 600-grit,
wet-dry sandpaper. To restore the glossy nish, use a special compound like Meguiar’s No. 10 Mirror Glaze. If it is not
available, use an automotive rubbing compound followed by an application of automotive paste wax.

• Major scratches and gouges that penetrate the acrylic surface may require renishing. Ask your Jacuzzi Luxury Bath
dealer for special instructions.

Drain Cover Care And Cleaning Instructions
Jacuzzi Luxury Bath Drain Covers are manufactured with nonporous and durable materials that, when properly cared for and
cleaned, resist soil buildup and stains to a great degree. To ensure
proper care, follow these simple steps:
1. First clean the Drain Cover with a mild dish soap and warm
water, wipe it clean, then wipe it again with a soft (slightly
dampened) cloth to remove any remaining soap residue.
2. For more difcult stains such as grease, oil, paint or ink, apply
rubbing alcohol to the affected area, then wipe it clean with a
soft, dry cloth.
3. Avoid abrasive cleansers and solvents, harsh chemicals or
those containing lime removal elements. They may damage the
nish and void the warranty.
4. DO NOT use abrasive scrubbing cloths or pads of any kind.
5. DO NOT use razor blades or other sharp objects that might
scratch the surface.
6. DO NOT use aftermarket bath products containing dye.
7. If unsure of the suitability of a product’s appropriateness for use
with these baths, rst test a very small amount of the product
on an inconspicuous area before using it on a visible surface.
For Solid Surface Matte Finish Models (Observe these additional
guidelines). For very difcult stains, Jacuzzi Luxury Bath
recommends the following cleansers and materials:
• Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
Figure 14B
Figure 15
Plastic
Spatula
• Soft Scrub, Bon Ami or Gray Scotch Brite Pads (Only).
• CAUTION: DO NOT use Green Scotch Brite Pads for any
reason since they will damage the tub surfaces.
