IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before beginning installation. Consult local codes for requirements.
The Water Rainbow fi ll spout/faucet kit is designed
for installation on most Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath
products or on any bath having suffi cient rim space
for mounting. The installation procedure requires
drilling holes in the bath shell, mounting fi ttings,
and making the proper water supply connections
to the faucet valves and fi ll spout. Hole drilling
templates and instructions are provided here for
this purpose.
Contents of Kit: Water Rainbow fi ll spout as-
sembly, faucet handles with inserts--hot (red dot)
and cold (blue dot), faucet valve assembly (2),
1/4-20 x 1-1/2" hex bolt with/washer and locknut
(2), 1-1/2" diameter. push-on speednut (2), faucet
handle gasket (2), #10-24 x 3/8" PHPM screw (2),
cartridge valve wrench with instructions.
Preparation
Locate the area on the bath or spa rim where
the Water Rainbow and faucet valves are to be
installed. For separated valve installations, refer to
illustrations B and G; for paired valve installations,
refer to illustrations C and H.
For installation on all baths, locate the Water Rainbow fi ll spout and valves on a level surface which
will allow water to clear the rim and fl ow directly into
the bath (see illustration A). Also be certain the fi ll
spout has easy access and that there is adequate
space for plumbing connections to the fi ll spout,
both before and after installation. (Refer to plumbing instructions regarding top access installation,
illustration M.)
Dry fi t the Water Rainbow fi ll spout and valves in
the desired area (before drilling holes) to be sure
the location is appropriate.
Drilling Holes
Detach the templates (on back page) and tape
them onto the acrylic surface of the bath rim, locating the center lines of the fi ll spout and valve
holes according to appropriate dimensions given
in Illustration B or C.
Note: To insure template has been printed to
scale, measure the 2 1/2" spacing from center
Fill Spout mark and 9/32" hole mark for the 1/4
- 20 Hex Bolt anchors.

Using a scribe tool or awl, mark the center points
for all holes, then remove the template.
Drill holes from the fi nished surface side of the
unit carefully, being sure they are the proper size.
We recommend that you drill pilot holes and then
use the recommended drill size. For best results,
begin drilling at slow speed, then use high speed.
Appropriate sizes of hole saws will be needed for
this.
Clean up dust particles using a soft cloth dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol and discard
the cloth.
Mounting the Fill Spout
Apply a 3/16" bead of silicone sealant (not provided) on the shell surface around the holes just
drilled in the shell. (See illustration D.)
Align the fi ll spout holes with the holes just drilled
and insert the threaded pipe extension through
the shell.
Fully install the 1/4-20 hex nuts onto the 1/4-20 x
1-1/2" hex bolts provided, then install the large fl at
washer onto the bolts. Insert the bolts through the
shell (from under the rim) and into the brass inserts
in the fi ll spout body. Finger tighten the hex nuts
against the washer, then tighten until snug using
a 7/16" wrench. Do not over tighten. Refer to
illustration D.
Remove excess sealant using damp cloth.

Mounting the Valves
Apply a 1/8" bead of silicone sealant (not provided)
around each hole on the rim surface. Insert each
faucet valve assembly through the holes, aligning
the ribs on each valve body with the notches in the
holes. (See illustration E.) Using a piece of 2" I.D.
x 3" L PVC piping (if available), push the speednut
over the tubing and onto the valve body (while
continuing to hold the valve body at the top) until
the speednut is in full contact with the underside
of the shell. (See illustration F.)

Installing the Faucet Handles
Install the rubber gasket into the faucet handle
aligning the fl at of the gasket with the projection
from the handle, then aligning the fl at surface on the
stem with the fl at inside handle, place the handle
onto the stem of the faucet valve.
Insert the #10-24 x 3/8" L stainless steel PHPM
screw (provided) through the handle and gasket
into the valve stem and tighten.
Rotate handles clockwise to the end of travel.
Push in inserts with dots oriented toward the outer
edge of the bath rim, red dot indicating hot water
and blue dot indicating cold water. The notch in
the insert must align with the ribs on the inside of
the handles for fl ush engagement. (See illustra-
tion I.)

Plumbing Connections
Note: T urn of f water at main shut-of f valve before
making plumbing connections to supply lines.
Connect the water line from the hot and cold valve
to the threaded pipe extension of the fi ll spout per
illustration G or H. Use Tefl on tape or thread seal-
ant designed for use on plastics. Do not use oil
base thread compounds.
For bath fi ll spout only applications, refer to the
suggested plumbing schemes G for separated
valves and H for paired valves. If a rim or wall
mounted shower is installed, a transfer or mixer
valve will be required. Three variations are shown
in illustration J (standard shower), K (rim mounted
or hand held), and L (shower with anti-siphon valve
if required by code.
If local plumbing codes require the installation of
an anti-siphon valve, locate the anti-siphon valve
6" above the rim of the bath in a vertical position
over a waterproof surface or fi xture to allow for
any possible water leakage through the air vent.
The valve must be exposed and have access for
service.
Operation
Check for proper operation of the fi ll spout. Always
fi ll the bath with a mixture of hot and cold water. Wa-
ter temperatures in excess of 140° F may damage
the fi ll spout and/or discolor the bath's surface.

Installation for Top Access
If service access to Water Rainbow plumbing
under the rim is not possible, it is possible to install
the spout so that it can be replaced at a later date
(if necessary) from the top of the rim. To do this,
allow at least 2" of fl exibility in the piping so it can
be pulled up through the rim. Use a compression
fi tting or union at the connection of the pipe extension to allow disconnection without rotating the fi ll
spout. If a compression fi tting is not used, make
sure there is a space of at least 6" from the back
of the Water Rainbow to the wall, so the spout can
be rotated to unscrew it from the piping. (See illustration M.)
To remove the fi ll spout from the top of the bath, fi rst pry off the cover. Do not use sharp tools!
Then remove the two larger screws and pull the
spout up.

Faucet Valve Replacement
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath has provided a special
wrench with which to change the cylinder valve
assembly under the water supply handles should
it require replacement. Keep this tool in a safe
place for use at a later date. T o replace the cylinder
valve and the seat assembly , fi rst turn off the water
supply , then pry the insert from the square handle.
Next, remove the Phillips screw securing the handle
and remove the handle. Place the wrench on the
bonnet and turn it counterclockwise. Next, remove
the bonnet, leaving it in the wrench.
Note the position of the valve cylinder stop before
removing the cylinder. Now use pliers to pull the
valve cylinder stem out of the body, then slip the
replacement cylinder unit into the body so that
stops of both faucets are positioned downward,
toward the bottom of the bath allowing rotation in
the same direction.
Secure the bonnet in place with the wrench. Replace the handle and the screw. Snap the insert
into place. (See illustration N.) The above faucet
replacement parts are available from your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath dealer.
