7.
Cut an “X” into the insulation where the holes are in the staves. Trim the
insulation back 1 inch on all sides of the holes. Removing the insulation
around the fittings will ensure a tight fit against the wall.
8.
Place the floor insulation down and tape the two pieces together.
Then tape around the sides to secure it to the rest of the insulation.
Coping Installation
Coping is the rubber cap that is attached around the top of the staves. It
provides a comfortable edging to your hot tub.
1.
Line the top of the staves with silicone. Put the edge of the coping down
and tape it against the hot tub so that the end does not slip as you run it
around the top of the staves. Make sure that the coping is placed evenly
in the centre.
2.
When you get to where you started, cut the coping to create a tight seam
and secure it in place with foil tape.
Liner Installation
Important Information
• Make sure that the liner is warm before you install it. This will allow
the liner to stretch easily and create a better fit. To warm it up,
place it in a bathtub or laundry sink with very warm water for a
few minutes or leave it outside on a warm day.
• For oval hot tubs, it is critical that the liner be positioned correctly
to fit the oval shape.
• The top of the liner has a “bead” that will hold the top band around
the hot tub.
