INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE

•Alcove studs should be constructed as shown.

•Floor must be clean, smooth, and level (check with level). Sub floor must be installed. Do not install tub on open floor joists.

•Cut hole in sub floor as shown, to accommodate drain.

•Access panels must be located on both ends of whirlpool alcove to service pump/motor and drain assembly after installation. Failure to provide access to these areas may result in added removal and re-installation costs in the event service may be required.

STEP 2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

•Install a 110 volt, 20 amp duplex outlet to the stud wall underneath the whirlpool at least 4" (102mm) above the sub floor. (Figure 1)

•Motor/pump must have a separate 110 volt, 20 amp service from the breaker panel to the motor/pump location. Do not combine any other electirc service with whirlpool supply line.

•Service supply line must be connected to a ground fault interrupter (GFI) at the breaker panel for added protection and to meet code requirement. Install breaker after all other electrical connections have been made.

•Your whirlpool wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician. All electrical preparation and connections must be made in strict compliance with local and national electrical codes.

WARNING: If whirlpool is not properly wired, there is danger of electrical shock or fire.

STEP 3. LEAK TEST WHIRLPOOL

•Water test tub in area where all fittings and connections can be inspected.

•Fill tub with water, make sure water is above jets. Run for 10 minutes. Inspect all fittings, plugs and connections for possible leaks.

•Drain tub. If any leaks are found, call American Standard Customer Service Department at 1-800-442-1902.

STEP 4. INSTALLING WHIRLPOOL

•Install drain, waste and overflow.

•Trial fit whirlpool in prepared alcove. With whirlpool sitting flat on floor, check with level on top of tub. Whirlpool should be level from front to back and side to side (Figure 2). If tub is not level, remove tub and level floor using leveling compound.

•A floor leveling compound (smooth mortar) or a similar quick-setting compound specifically made for leveling floors may be used to fully support and level tub.

•If alcove is larger than tub, shim between tub and studs to create a tight fit. Screw tub flange to studs. (Figure 3)

•Connect drain piping to drain.

These tubs are thoughtfully designed to cater to various preferences, making them suitable for a wide range of bathrooms.

One of the standout features of these bathtubs is their size and design. The dimensions of the 6030 models measure 60 inches by 30 inches, while the 6032 model boasts an extra depth for those seeking a more spacious bathing experience. Their rectangular shape offers a sleek, modern look that complements a variety of bathroom aesthetics.

American Standard prioritizes comfort in their designs, and these models are no exception. The ergonomically designed backrest supports body posture and enhances relaxation, allowing users to unwind after a long day. The wide, flat rim provides ample space for bath items such as candles, soap, or bath oils, creating a spa-like atmosphere.

Another innovative aspect of the American Standard 6030 series is the use of high-quality acrylic material. Acrylic is not only lightweight but also retains heat exceptionally well, ensuring that bathwater stays warm longer. This feature elevates the bathing experience, promoting longer, more leisurely soaks. Additionally, the acrylic finish is easy to clean and maintain, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

Technology plays a significant role in the functionality of these tubs. The non-porous surface helps to prevent mold and mildew growth, contributing to a healthier bathing environment. The tubs’ construction also minimizes sound, creating a tranquil ambiance during bath time.

Moreover, the 6030 series bathtubs are designed with versatility in mind. They come with options for an array of color finishes, enabling seamless integration into any bathroom theme. Customization options also include integral apron and built-in armrests for enhanced comfort and convenience.
