Note:
The bath should remain in its shipping carton until time of installation.
1. Literature dimensions are for reference only.
INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM
THE TUB.
WIDTH OF ACCESS IS INDICATED BY DARK LINE. HEIGHT OF ACCESS IS A MINIMUM OF
TWO FEET MEASURED FROM THE BOTTOM OF LIP.
IT IS THE INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SERVICE ACCESS AND TO ENSURE THAT
ACCESS PANELS AND/OR SERVICE OPENINGS ARE PROPERLY PLACED AND ACCESSIBLE.
2. Install the drain fitting to the bath.
THE DRAIN FITTING MAY PROTRUDE BELOW THE BASE OF THE TUB.
Clearance must be provided for the drain by cutting away the subfloor (where possible) or by blocking below the
tub as may be required.
WARNING:
All blocking must be solid and provide uniform support to the tub base.
3. Tub must rest entirely on all leveling feet.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE TUB BY THE RIM.
Lift
unit and place into framework. If necessary, adjust feet until unit is completely touching on the leveled sub floor.
Secure the unit by fastening the bottom feet to the sub floor with any construction adhesive caulk or screw the
feet to the floor. For quieter operation and heat conservation, the walls surrounding the whirlpool may be insulated.
4. Frame out under the tub rim as shown in one of the illustrations below.
NOTE:
Due to the variety of installations
possible, framing procedures other than those described may be required. Plumb in selected location using a
level. Level front to back and across both sides. A ledge under the rim, or an apron without a ledge, may be
constructed as required (see Diagrams 1A, 1B and 1C). Where installation will be against a wall, stud wall framing
should allow for wall sheathing material to run full length to the floor (see Diagram 1D). Install tub firmly against
sheathing as indicated, with blocking below rim to prevent deflection or movement of tub. To prevent a rocking
movement of tub after installation, it is important to have rim in contact, but not supported by blocking material.
5. When placing the tub on a platform or cut out (see Diagrams 1A, 1B and 1E), the opening should be 1" smaller
than the specified rim dimensions. Extreme care must be taken in this type of installation to ensure the tub
will come to rest entirely on the leveling feet.

ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY A LOCALLY LICENSED ELECTRICIAN/TECHNICIAN.
