3. supply & Drain Plumbing connection
The final connection needed for the supply plumbing are the two stainless steel flex hoses that connect from the
wall shut off valves to the hot and cold valves on the deck of the tub.
1.
Make sure the shut off valves at the tub are shut off.
2. Turn the water supply to the house back on.
3.
Connect the supply flex hoses to the wall valves. Although the supply hoses have integrated washers, it is
still recommended that teflon tape or thread sealant be used on the threads to ensure a complete seal
4.
DO NOT CONNECT the supply lines to the tub yet. Be sure to flush the lines of any debris that may have
been loosed by shutting house supply on and off. Place the other end of the supply hose in the drain and
slowly open the wall valve. Let it run for a couple minutes to clear out air and debris. Once there is a clean
and constant flow, turn the wall valve off and connect the supply flex hose to the valve on the tub deck. These
steps need to be done for both the hot and cold lines.
caution...
BE SURE TO FLUSH SUPPLY LINES PRIOR TO HOOKUP. RELEASED DEBRIS
AND SEDIMENT IN LINES CAN DAMAGE OR CLOG THE CERAMIC CARTRIDGES IN THE
VALVES AND DIVERTER AND CAN DAMAGE THE HAND SHOWER.
5.
Connect the drain to the p-trap located in the floor according to local plumbing codes.
6. Now test both the faucets and the drain function checking for any leaks at any of the plumbing connections.
It is the responsibility of the contractor/installer to make sure all plumbing connections are water tight.
4. electrical connection (if so equipped)
All electrical work should be done by a qualified licensed electrician. Bliss Tub systems come with standard
three-prong NEMA plugs and are not manufacturer approved for hardwiring to a junction box. Hardwiring of
any kind or tampering with the integrated electrical systems will void the warranty. Plug in each of the electrical
systems to a dedicated GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) three-prong outlet. All systems require 110 V, 60
HZ cycle and vary in their amperage draw.
Air Blower – 9.5 amps
Hydro Pump – 9.4 amps
Tee-heater – 12.5 amps
WarninG...
BE SURE NOT TO OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT BY PLUGGING IN TOO MUCH
AMPERAGE DEMAND WHICH COULD RESULT IN TRIPPED GFCI OUTLETS, TRIPPED
BREAKERS, OR FIRE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A 12 GAUGE WIRE IS RUN TO A 20 AMP BREAKER
FOR THE 2 GANG GFCI OUTLET AND BOTH THE TEE-HEATER AND THE HYDRO PUMP ARE
PLUGGED INTO THAT OUTLET, YOU WOULD BE DRAWING 21.9 AMPS (HEATER 12.5 AMPS +
PUMP 9.4 AMPS = 21.9 AMPS) ON A 20 AMP CIRCUIT. IN THIS CASE, YOU WOULD NEED TO
RUN A SECOND CIRCUIT.
