Installation of the IZZI Emerald-5SK Left and Right whirlpools
The emerald-5SK is designed for installation into a framed alcove, and function as a bath and shower.
Installation steps
Frame a ledger board on all three walls of the alcove (1x4 or 2x4) so the bath will be suspended by a height of ˝ inch to 1 inch, at its lowest point when slid into the framing. The ledger board supports the tub deck flange and assures a level installation and stable surface for tiling... The height of the ledger varies according to model from 18-20 inches. A field measurement should be performed to assure the best height. Installing the bath approximately 1 inch off the floor provides easier connection of the drain and waste overflow assembly.
After the bath is leveled in the alcove and resting on the ledger board, adjust the support legs to the floor to share the load of the bath with the ledger board.
If the sub-floor is not entirely stable, shims or mortar may also be used to prevent movement. Stepping into the bath is a good test of stability.
At this point, the drain can be connected and the bath water tested.
The tiling flange is intended to prevent leaks and not to attach the tub to the framing. Do not run screws into the tiling flange. Tile board and tile are then installed over the tiling flange
