17. PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Inspect areas where ADA compliant bathing units will be installed. Notify the Architect of conditions that would adversely
affect the installation or subsequent utilization of bathing units. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory
conditions are corrected.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions which are different from those of conventional one piece shower units
in that the unit may be installed directly on top of the flooring and still meet the A.D.A. 1/2 inch maximum curb height
requirement. To allow for this the following needs to be done:
1. The hole around the drain needs to be 8 inch diameter.
2. The unit needs to be adhered to the floor using an epoxy adhesive that is provided by the shower manufacturer.
3. Flooring needs to be brought up to the bevel on the curb.
B. Install barrier free bathing units level, plumb, and square with flat wall surfaces.
C. Touch-up minor damaged surfaces caused during installation. Replace damaged components as directed by Architect.
3.3 ADJUSTING
A. Test and adjust mixing valves and hand held showers for proper and efficient operation, including water temperature,
pressure, and volume.
3.4 CLEANING
A. Clean surfaces in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers, or wire brushes.
3.5 SCHEDULE
Specifier Notes: Provide a schedule if two or more ADA compliant bathing units are specified with different model numbers or
accessories. Identify each unit separately. Coordinate schedule with location of units indicated on drawings. This is an optional
location for the schedule, rather than on the drawings.

23. PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Inspect areas where ADA compliant bathing units will be installed. Notify the Architect of conditions that would adversely
affect the installation or subsequent utilization of bathing units. Do not proceed with installation until unsatisfactory
conditions are corrected.
3.2 INSTALLATION
A. Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions which are different from those of conventional one piece shower units
in that the unit may be installed directly on top of the flooring and still meet the A.D.A. 1/2 inch maximum curb height
requirement. To allow for this the following needs to be done:
1. The hole around the drain needs to be 8 inch diameter.
2. The unit needs to be adhered to the floor using an epoxy adhesive that is provided by the shower manufacturer.
3. Flooring needs to be brought up to the bevel on the curb.
B. Install barrier free bathing units level, plumb, and square with flat wall surfaces.
C. Touch-up minor damaged surfaces caused during installation. Replace damaged components as directed by Architect.
3.3 ADJUSTING
A. Test and adjust mixing valves and hand held showers for proper and efficient operation, including water temperature,
pressure, and volume.
3.4 CLEANING
A. Clean surfaces in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B. Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scrapers, or wire brushes.
3.5 SCHEDULE
Specifier Notes: Provide a schedule if two or more ADA compliant bathing units are specified with different model numbers or
accessories. Identify each unit separately. Coordinate schedule with location of units indicated on drawings. This is an optional
location for the schedule, rather than on the drawings.
