INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS

The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as required. 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.

NOTE: The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.

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

2.Remove the whirlpool and attach a 2 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line.

3.Install drain components to the whirlpool following the manufacturers 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 for suggested opening size and location dimensions.

4.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 (e.g. Sakrete), mortar, or grout will help provide a solid and secure installation.
