INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE
• Alcove studs should be constructed as shown.
• Floor must be clean, smooth, and level (check with level). Sub floor must be
installed. Do not install tub on open floor joists.
• Cut hole in sub floor as shown, to accommodate drain.
• Access panels must be located on both ends of whirlpool alcove to service
pump/motor and drain assembly after installation. Failure to provide access
to these areas may result in added removal and re-installation costs in the
event service may be required.
STEP 2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
• Install a 110 volt, 20 amp duplex outlet to the stud wall underneath the
whirlpool at least 4" (102mm) above the sub floor. (Figure 1)
• Motor/pump must have a separate 110 volt, 20 amp service from the breaker
panel to the motor/pump location. Do not combine any other electirc service
with whirlpool supply line.
• Service supply line must be connected to a ground fault interrupter (GFI) at
the breaker panel for added protection and to meet code requirement. Install
breaker after all other electrical connections have been made.
• Your whirlpool wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician. All
electrical preparation and connections must be made in strict compliance
with local and national electrical codes.
WARNING: If whirlpool is not properly wired, there
is danger of electrical shock or fire.

STEP 3. LEAK TEST WHIRLPOOL
• Water test tub in area where all fittings and connections can be
inspected.
• Fill tub with water, make sure water is above jets. Run for 10 minutes.
Inspect all fittings, plugs and connections for possible leaks.
• Drain tub. If any leaks are found, call American Standard Customer Service
Department at 1-800-442-1902.
STEP 4. INSTALLING WHIRLPOOL
• Install drain, waste and overflow.
• Trial fit whirlpool in prepared alcove. With whirlpool sitting flat on floor, check
with level on top of tub. Whirlpool should be level from front to back and side
to side (Figure 2). If tub is not level, remove tub and level floor using leveling
compound.
• A floor leveling compound (smooth mortar) or a similar quick-setting
compound specifically made for leveling floors may be used to fully support
and level tub.
• If alcove is larger than tub, shim between tub and studs to create a tight fit.
Screw tub flange to studs. (Figure 3)
• Connect drain piping to drain.
FIGURE 2. Check to assure tub is level.
FIGURE 3. If necessary, shim between tub and
studs for tight fit and screw to each stud.
