GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor
immediately. After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. After installation, and before
enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.
If a whirlpool, do not make modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely affect
the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump, motor, or
piping system.
Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing
materials are provided by others. Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead (required for recess
installations).
Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.
WARNING! Do not lift whirlpool by the piping harness at any time.

FRAMING AND INSTALLATION
THE VARIETY OF INSTALLATIONS POSSIBLE FOR THIS BATH MAY REQUIRE FRAMING PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE
SHOWN.
LOCATE STUDS AS REQUIRED. INSURE ROUGH DIMENSIONS ARE PROPER, PLUMB AND SQUARE. FOR WHIRLPOOLS,
PROVISION MUST BE MADE IN ALL INSTALLATIONS FOR AN ACCESS OPENING FOR SERVICING PUMP AND
CONTROLS.
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE MUST BE USED FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS: STRINGER OR PIER HEIGHT SHOULD BE AS
INDICATED. THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF
MORTAR AS A BEDDING MATERIAL (SAND IS NOT RECOMMENDED). APPLY ENOUGH BEDDING TO SUPPORT THE
COMPLETE BOTTOM OF THE BATH. AFTER THE BEDDING HAS BEEN POURED, AND BEFORE IT SETS, POSITION
WHIRLPOOL OR BATH WITHIN INSTALLATION UNTIL THE RIM IS LEVELED AGAINST THE LEVELING STRINGERS (SEE
"TYPICAL CORNER INSTALLATION") SHOWN BELOW. THE RIM OF THE BATH MUST NOT SUPPORT WEIGHT. ALLOW
THE BEDDING MATERIAL TO COMPLETELY HARDEN BEFORE APPLYING WEIGHT TO THE RIM OR BOTTOM OF THE
BATH. ANY FINISH MATERIAL SUCH AS WALL BOARD OR TILE MUST BE SELF-SUPPORTING IF IT CONTACTS THE
DECK OF THE BATH.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the national electrical code and all other
applicable codes.
WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following:
1. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
2. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
3. Install to permit access for servicing.
4. All building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and heater (if equipped).
The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the
electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded
neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential.

DRAIN CONNECTION AND SYSTEM TEST
Using recommended drain opening, connect whirlpool drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely. Check the
pump couplings and make sure they are hand-tight. Clean the whirlpool and fill with water to a point 2" above the top of
the highest jet. Recheck the pump couplings and make certain that they are not leaking. (Although the pump couplings
are factory tightened and inspected, some loosening may have occured during transit.) Make sure the whirlpool is
connected to the electrical supply and turn the whirlpool on. Check for leaks around all piping connections while the
whirlpool is running.

only. Always follow
local and national
electrical codes
Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or
stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.
Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ACRYLIC SURFACES.
Abrasive cleaners must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing
with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.
