7.INSTALL THE WHIRLPOOL

A.WHIRLPOOL SET-IN

1.Lay out and mark the supply or mixing valve hole

locations on the back of the unit. Drill a 1/4º diameter pilot hole at each fitting mark.

2.For multiple-unit installations, where the supply fittings have been accurately located during the plumbing rough-in, a template made of lightweight plywood and containing all the correct pilot holes can be used to position the holes on the back surface of the unit.

3.Use a hole saw to drill the holes required. Drill from the finished face of the unit.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. When moving the unit, do not flex or damage may occur.

4.Clean the bath recess thoroughly. Carefully slide the unit into the recess.

5.Use a level to plumb and level the unit. Be sure the bottom of the unit is firmly supported against the floor. Use shims as needed. Some framing adjustments may be necessary. No additional support is necessary.

6.Attach the unit to the 2x2 brace and toe plate previously installed around the recess rough opening.

7.Use #6 large-head galvanized nails or #8 x 1º sheet metal screws across the top and bottom, and up both sides.
