Installation Guidelines

This unit is designed for alcove installation and requires a level, prepared subfloor. While the design is straightforward, proper alignment, leveling, and drain connection are essential. Use of shims or a mortar bed may be recommended based on site conditions. Always follow Mustee installation instructions to ensure a watertight fit and compliance with code requirements.

Contractor Considerations

• Job Site Efficiency: Pre-molded base reduces installation time compared to tiled receptors.
• Code Compliance: Center drain configuration and standard rough-in dimensions simplify integration with residential plumbing systems.
• Durability: Reinforced body withstands repeated use and resists cracking under load.
