Secure the Bath to the Subﬂoor – Models With Support Blocks Only (cont.)

Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subﬂoor where the bath will be placed.

This will help secure, level and support the bath.

NOTE: The support blocks must rest directly on the support ﬂoor.

Clear all the material away from the support block locations.

NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide an

acceptable, durable bond.

Position a piece of plastic drop cloth or similar material over the cement or mortar bed.

With help, carefully lift the bath into place and make sure the support blocks do not rest in the bed

material. Verify that the bath is level and resting on all support blocks.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.

Remove the protective tape from the bath rim.

Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the entire rim of the bath.

Option 2: Secure Using Construction Adhesive

Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.

With help, carefully lift the bath into place and verify it is level and resting on all support blocks.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.

Remove the protective tape from the bath rim.

Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the entire rim of the bath.
