framework above it).
• Must have a maximum of 24" (610mm)
between the trusses in the ceiling.
• Ceiling must be made of wood or
1/2"(12.7mm) sheet rock or thicker.
• Ensure ceiling and floor are clear of
any dust, grease, water or any foreign
substance.
A build-up of nicotine, grease or water on the ceiling will affect the integrity of the Easytrack System.
• Installing a post directly under a joist or truss is not required, but preferable.
Floor Requirements

code standards. (Termites or water
damage may affect the structure of the
floor).
• Ensure floor is clear of any dust,
grease, water or any foreign substance.
• Floor must not have a slope of more
than 0.5 °. See drawing below to
determine the floor slope. Use a level
or contact a contractor if unsure of
floor slope.
Bath Requirements
• Ensure your tub is made of porcelain or
metal and has sufficient structure
underneath the tub to withstand the
weight required (see drawing below).
If you are unsure of the structural
integrity of the tub, contact the manufacturer or a contractor to evaluate the
structure.

available on each end of the tub (see
drawing). The round "foot" on the bath base must entirely be in contact with the tub ledge.
• The tub length must be between 53”–65” (1350-1650 mm).

BATH BASE WITHOUT THOROUGHLY CLEANING AND DRYING THE SURFACE OF THE TUB.
• Floor beneath the tub must be according to local building code standards. (Water damage or termites may affects the integrity of the
floor or wall structure.)
• If you have any doubt with respect to the ceiling or bath structure, consider installing the Easytrack System with a wall mount. The
