Receiving...
Immediately upon receiving your Jetta bath, inspect it thoroughly
for freight damage. If damage is found, please note on bill of lading
and contact JETTA Corporation immediately. The surface should be
protected at all times to prevent scratches.
Do not carry unit by the piping as this may cause leaks. •
Check color match before installation. •
Nothing should be placed in bath that would scratch or break it. •
Workmen in bath should be in stocking feet only. •
Testing...
Water test your unit prior to installation. Set the tub on a
level surface where it can be drained after testing. Insert drain
tting and ll to the overow. Make sure all ttings, through
walls and piping are water tight. While each unit is checked at
the factory, the process of shipping or improper handling may
have loosened the joints. If there are leaks, mark the spot(s),
drain and repair with GE Silicone Sealer (ber glass to PVC) or
PVC cement (PVC to PVC). Repeat test when dry.
Rough-In...
Test t the tub, and verify dimensions. Your Jetta bath should be installed in a bedding compound, preferably a
mortar mix or thin set, which should be evenly distributed under the base to provide maximum support and even
weight distribution. Do not use foam, sand or drywall mud. When leveling, prepare a bed of moist mortar in the area
where bath is to be installed. Place equally spaced mounds of bedding compound, about one foot apart, 2” to 4” tall -
this should be about the diameter of a three pound coffee tin (8”-10”). When the bottom of the tub comes in contact
with the bedding compound, it should compress the mounds to a 1” to 3” layer while the tub should lightly rest on
top of the tub deck. Once the bedding compound drys, all of the weight will be carried through the oor of the tub,
not suspended by its lip. Carefully level the unit, ensuring that uniform support is given to all areas of the base and
that no portion of the lip is bearing weight. DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE BATH BY THE RIM! Your
Jetta bath has a pre-leveled lip that accounts for the sloped oor towards the drain. It is recommended that plastic is
laid between the bedding compound and the bath, in case removal of the bath is ever necessary.
