Framing and Support, Typical Installation

Important: Read complete instructions before beginning installation.

Each whirlpool bath arrives ready for installation, completely equipped with motor/pump assembly and plumbing and fittings necessary for whirlpool operation. An optional drain/overflow kit is available for installation on the bath.

Remove the bath from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has been made. Do not lift the bath by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only.

Immediately upon receipt, inspect the shell before installing. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish, do not install the bath. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after the bath is installed is excluded from the warranty. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath's responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon delivery of the products in good order to the carrier. Refer any claims for damage to the carrier. For definitions of warranty coverage and limitations, refer to the published warranty information packed with the product.

All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. Note: Prior to installation, the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible for any defect that could have been discovered, repaired, or avoided by following this inspection and testing procedure.

Framing and Support

The drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this requires a cutout in the floor.

The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath, water, and bather. Refer to the table under total weight for your model. The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or tile flange. If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the bath. If the subfloor is not level, you MUST level the entire surface prior to installing the bath. The use of materials that shim or provide a level installation are allowed provided the method used will insure a level bath that is supported from the bottom. Materials that may be used are a floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam having a density of a minimum of 5 lbs./cubic ft; however the bath must remain level in order for it to drain properly and the foam feet must make full contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.

The rim of the bath is not designed to support weight. If finish material is to overlap (maximum 1” overlap) or contact the bath, the added weight must be fully self-supporting.

The protective film liner inside the bath should be left there to prevent damage to the finish from shoes, tools, etc. during installation and should not be removed until final cleanup.
