When installing AmeriBath bathing modules, the following precautions should be taken to help
reduce chances of damage during installation.
• Make allowances to get unit in room.
• Always bring unit to plumb (level).
• Always have a framing member behind the anges.
• Always shim or grout under the base of the unit to assure positive contact with the oor.
• ALL BARRIER FREE UNITS MUST BE SET IN GROUT - (NON SHRINK TYPE)
• All 3/4” Barrier Free Units Must Be Stored On eir “Face-Plates” or “Backs”. is
Prevents Units against “Bowed resholds” and “Crowned Drains”.
• Keep the cardboard facing on the unit for protection as long as possible during construction
• Place a piece of cardboard or carpet in the unit when standing inside to prevent damage
(Shipping face pack works well). Scratched, Scued or Chipped Bottoms are considered
“Jobsite Damage”.
• Do not store materials in the unit during construction.
• During clean up, use a mild non-abrasive cleaning agent. Do not use acetone or lacquer
thinner since they may harm the acrylic nish. e following cleaners may be used:
1. Ivory Liquid, Dawn or other liquid dishwashing detergent.
2. Vinegar and water mixture (50/50 ratio).
3. Alcohol, Denatured Alcohol or Mineral Spirits may be used.
e foregoing requirements have been supplied for you as typical guidelines to follow. Any
installation other than these should have the approval of the AmeriBath Company, Inc.
Any other type of installation MAY VOID MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
