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. Before installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks. 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.

General Installation Information

Bath may only be installed in a recess type installation.

IMPORTANT: Water test unit before installation and enclosure!

Locate studs as required. insure rough dimensions are proper, plumb and square. For whirlpools, access to pump/motor may be made through access opening in apron panel. The following procedure must be used for all installations: leveling support stringer should be as indicated. this bath is not self-supporting and must be supported along it's entire bottom. Support with mortar or grout. Position bathtub/whirlpool within the recess, check level, front to back, side to side, and shim as necessary. To secure the tub to wood studs use drywall screws w/washers or roofing nails immediately above the flange of the tub. To secure the tub to steel studs use 4" drywall screws and flatwashers.

See page 2 for complete installation information. Caution: Take extra care when driving nails or screws to avoid damaging the tub. The tile or similar finished floor will be butted against

the bottom of the tub apron, also holding the tub in place.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS

Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Access to Pump/Motor may be made through the access opening in the apron panel. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components.

NOTE: The apron may be used as the primary access opening.

1. As shown in Fig. 1, mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs, using a level or other suitable straight edge.

2. With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.

3. Install drain components to the whirlpool or bath following the manufacturers instructions. See the roughing-in drawing for suggested opening size and location dimensions.

4. THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG ITS ENTIRE BOTTOM. We recommend the use of mortar as 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 recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see "Typical Recess 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 tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
