If subfloor is not level, some shimming of the bath and pump will be necessary. See 11.B. for height adjustment.

2.Install Using Gypsum: Place a 2” thick layer of gypsum cement (such as Gyp-Crete 2000) on the floor where the whirlpool is to be set. This will help secure, level and support the bath. Set bath into position. Clear any excess cement from vicinity of the pump.

NOTE: Pump bracket must sit flat on the floor.

Insert tailpiece into trap. Make sure bath is level and resting on all supporting blocks.

3.Install Using 1 x 2 Strips: Set whirlpool in desired location and level. Nail 1 x 2 wood strips around blocks under the whirlpool to firmly hold it in position. It is not necessary to use strips on all blocks. They are only needed on blocks that are to the outside edges of your installation.

Insert tailpiece into trap. Make sure bath is level and resting on all supporting blocks.
