BEFORE YOU BEGIN
S Observe local plumbing codes.
SBaths are designed for a variety of installations, depending upon the model chosen.
SFollow only the steps that apply to your installation.
SUnpack and inspect the bath for damage. Then return the bath to the carton until you are ready to install it.
SInstall the unit to a level subfloor.
SThe basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with respect to the stud framing. Consider using shims for additional support if the subfloor is uneven.
SA tiling-in bead may be optional and is recommended when wall material comes in contact with any top surface of the bath.
SSome K-1179 tiling-in beads may require trimming of the bottom edge for proper fit.
SProtect the bath floor during installation.
SProvide properly-dimensioned framing.
SFixture conforms to ANSI Standard Z124.1. All dimensions are nominal.
SBefore installation, ensure proper access to the final plumbing connections.
SCompare the roughing-in and room dimensions, and provide adequate space for the bath.
SOptional aprons must be installed before the finished floor and wall materials are installed.

Seal around the valving and outlets with silicone sealant or plumbers putty.

8. CLEAN-UP AFTER INSTALLATION
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers as they may scratch and dull the surface. Use warm water and a liquid, non-abrasive detergent to clean the surface.
Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner.
Do not allow cleaners containing petroleum distillates to remain in contact with the bath surface for long periods of time.
Remove plaster by scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal or wire tools. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to the residual plaster.
