Water Rainbow™ Fill Spout/Faucet Kit
Installation Instructions
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.)
