GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor immediately.

After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. Before installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.

If a whirlpool, do not make modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely affect the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump, motor, or piping system.

Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing materials are provided by others.

IMPORTANT:

Water test unit before installation and enclosure!

Locate studs as required. Insure rough dimensions are proper, plumb and square. For whirlpools, access to pump/motor may be made through access opening in apron panel. The following procedure must be used for all installations: leveling support stringer should be as indicated. This bath is not self-supporting and must be supported along it's entire bottom. Support with mortar or grout.

Position bathtub/whirlpool within the recess, check level, front to back, side to side, and shim as necessary.

To secure the tub to wood studs use drywall screws w/washers or roofing nails immediately above the flange of the tub. To secure the tub to steel studs use 4" drywall screws and flatwashers.

See page 2 for complete installation information.

Caution: Take extra care when driving nails or screws to avoid damaging the tub.

The tile or similar finished floor will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron, also holding the tub in place.
