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.)
