Suboor
Prepare the suboor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
1
The drain/overow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical
Specications Manual that corresponds with your bathtub.
2
Make appropriate cuts to the suboor to accommodate the drain.
3
Jacuzzi’s Tru-Level™ base is a standard feature on all bathtubs. If the suboor is level and a continuous surface,
no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to the “Installation” section.
4
If the suboor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing the bathtub. The materials used
will insure that the bathtub is supported from the bottom. These materials include: leveling compound, mortar,
plaster or minimal expansion structural foam (having a density of a minimum 5lbs/cubic foot). The bathtub must
remain level in order for it to drain properly and must make contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint
or splice of suboor should be level to each other.
