INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

integrallyskirted whirlpools:

Remove the shipping blocks of wood that are nailed along the back of the long 1 x 4 of the “H” frame.

1.To avoid obstructions during installation, make sure water lines, spout pipes and valve plumbing do not project into alcove.

2.Ledger Strip: Fasten a 1” x 3” (25mm x 75mm) ledger strip along rear for alcove and along both sides in corner installations at Dimension LH. (see diagram 6A)

3.Mix a 3 gallon bucket of cement mortar and water to a paste. Place three or four mounds of cement away from drain hole in a line or square, approximately twice as high as the cavity under the tub bottom.

4.Place tub into alcove with front skirt firmly on floor and depress cement mounds. Make certain that back ledge of tub rests firmly on ledger strip. (see diagram 6A)

5.Using 1 1/2” (40mm) galvanized roof nails or washer head screws: (a) spot-fasten the two bottom corners and the two top corners of the vertical side nailing flanges. (b) Fasten at each stud through the top sides flanges and back flange, working from both ends toward back center. (c) Complete fastening vertical side flanges.

6.When other than scratch coat is used, furring strips as thick as nailing flanges are recommended for installation on studs above the installed Aquatic tub to assure drywall will be flush.

7.See and follow the Sealing & Finishing Diagram (diagram 6B) and System Test and Clean-Up on page 15.
