Special Needs Products Guidelines for unit installation 141205 141206 141207 141208 Installation instructions 141209 Read carefully before proceeding. TO BE KEPT BY THE END USER. Keep the serial number for the unit Please read instructions carefully before proceeding Before starting Upon reception, check if your shower is in good condition and make sure that all parts are included. If you have a problem, please contact immediately your distributor. Required equipment • Level • Measuring tape • Pencil • Electric drill • #8 x 1" wood screws • Teflon • Pliers • Safety goggles • Silicone • Wood shims • Phillips or flat head screwdriver • Cement or similar composite material WARNING: For optimum operation, it is important that the unit be installed perfectly on a leveled floor. Handle metal parts with care. During installation, protect shower floor with the cardboard packaging. This will prevent damaging the finish. Do not build the surrounding structure before receiving your unit. Structure measurements should be verified against the unit to ensure a proper fit. The grab bars and seats must be installed before unit installation. Consult local building codes to make sure the installation complies with standards. Note: CAN/CSA or ADA/ANSI compliant units must be installed with grab bar, pressure balance mixing valve, hand-held shower with slide bar, vacuum breaker and hose. Transfer seat is required in all 36" (914 mm) and 48" (1219 mm) showers. Attention In accordance with Canadian and US standards, the finished entrance height of shower stalls must not exceed ½ inch (13 mm). Because of the possible water leaks between the lip of the shower and the curtain, MAAX recommends the installation of a floor drain outside the unit, in rooms where the aforementioned units will be installed. 10020913 Step 1 - Clearance Zone The bathroom configuration must include a clearance zone to allow the user to have access to the unit. In order to respect these various standards, refer to the table below. It is very important that the clearance zone respect the dimensions. Fig.1.1. All dimensions are in inches and millimetres.

For units equipped with a stainless steel soap dish, a minimum additional 1 ½" must be allowed on the side where soap dish will be installed. Construct the alcove in accordance with Fig. 2 and table dimensions. Note: Structure measurements must be verified against the unit to ensure a proper fit. All dimensions are expressed in inches and millimeters. Note: The following measurements are not those of the unit but those required for the installation (± ¼") ; for easier installation add 1/4" (6 mm) to dimensions A and B only. Note: Some units are available with left-hand or right-hand drain; check the drain position before drilling the floor.

Apply silicone between the flanges. Use the same nuts that held the pieces together when you received the unit. Important: Do not over-tighten screws. Wipe off the excess caulking immediately using a wet cloth. Step 6 - Plumbing Install all plumbing and drainage. Step 7A - Installation of an Acrylic unit Insert the unit into the frame to make sure all dimensions are right and that drainage pipes are centered and easy to assemble. Acrylic units can be sunk into the floor or installed on the finished floor. If the unit is installed on the finished floor, the floor shall be build in accordance with the finished height of the threshold standards. It is important that the floor slopes in the floor drain direction to facilitate water drainage. Fig. 7. Important: The finished height of the threshold must comply with the following canadian and american standards; • Canada: height from 6 mm to 100 mm according to CAN/CSA-B651 (Accessibilité des bâtiments et autres installations). • U.S.: 1/4" maximum height according to ADA/ANSI A117.1 (Accessible and Usable Buildings and facilities). This standard does not apply to tub-showers. If your unit has a soap dish, see step 8. Silicone Fig. 6 Drain ne ico Slope (1:12) Sil Finished Floor 1/4" Max.

If you have a problem, please contact immediately your distributor. Always cut off the water supply before removing or disassembling a faucet. Turn the faucet on to release any water pressure and to make sure the water supply has indeed been cut off. Important: It is mandatory to include an access to the plumbing connections measuring at least 30" x 28" (762 mm x 711 mm). This access will allow you to easily repair or disassemble the connections. When installing a new faucet, make sure that the cartridge bush is not loose. It is possible that it became loose after being manipulated. If such is the case, water could eject the cartridge from the faucet body, causing injuries and damages. MAAX is not responsible for problems caused by installations that were not conducted in compliance with the directives in this guide. 12 10020913 Step 1 - Mixer installation A trap door behind ALL shower models must give access to the mixer and plumbing for maintenance and repairs. a) At the choosen height, fasten a 3 in. (76.2 mm) high wood block. Determine the depth (dim.
