Installation And Framing Instructions

The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as needed. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an access opening for servicing the pump and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components. The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.

1.Position the whirlpool into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the integral support feet IF necessary. Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).

. Remove the whirlpool and attach a 1 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line.

!The rim of the bath must not support weight.

. Install drain components to the whirlpool following the drain installation instructions. Before replacing your whirlpool for final installation, be certain that an opening has been provided in the sub-floor for the drain. See the roughing-in drawing and Table 1 for suggested opening size (shadowed) and location dimensions. 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 Table 1 under total weight for your model.

NOTE: Tile bead kit not included and must be purchased separately.

Replace whirlpool and re-shim the integral support feet, shimming the entire length of the support feet. Secure the shims using construction adhesive, silicone, mortar or equivalent materials. While not a necessity, the use of a foundation base consisting of cement, mortar, or grout will help provide a solid and secure installation.

!The rim of the bath must not support weight. If foundation base is used, allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
