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.
As shown in Fig. 1, mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs at the height
indicated, using a level or other suitable straight edge.
2.
With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.
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.
This bath must be supported along its entire bottom in all types of installations. Use mortar or plaster as bedding material
(sand is not recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete bottom of the bath. After the bedding has been
poured, and before it sets, lower the bath into place until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see "Typical
Installation Methods"). The rim of the bath
MUST NOT support weight. Allow the bedding material to completey 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.
