Remote Mounting of Air Blower 

The Jason AirMasseur

®

 system has been factory installed 

following E.T.L. Guidelines. During installation, if remote 
mounting of the blower is desired or required, the following 
procedures should be followed.

NOTe: Do not remote mount the blower more than 

15 feet (457cm) away from the air inlet of the bath. 

Choose a location as close as possible to the bath to 

assure maximum efficiency. 

1.   The installer must determine the layout of the piping; 

exact remote mount location; and service access 
before beginning any work. Use 1.5” (38mm) ABS 
or PVC plastic tubing. Locate the blower in an area 
accessible for servicing. 

NOTe: A 15-foot extension 

replacement cable set can be purchased from 

your Jason supplier, if needed. To ensure 

proper functioning of the system, avoid remote 

mounting in a location which requires more than 

six (6) piping direction changes. A 90° direction 

change should be made up of two 45° elbows for 

maximum efficiency.

 

2.   If the blower has been factory installed, disconnect the 

blower from the air bath plumbing by removing the two 
(2) screws on the check valve outlet and disconnect 
the short piece of flex pipe between the check valve 
and the elbow by removing the two (2) screws in the 
elbow. (Omit this step on baths where the blower is not 
factory installed and remote mounting is required.) 

3.   Install the blower in the remote location. The remote 

mount locations’ ambient air temperature should 
remain at approximately 22°C (72°F) for optimum air 
heating.

4.   Make sure the blower is well ventilated. The blower 

mount should be attached firmly to the floor. Piping 
between the remote blower location and the bath 
can be insulated using a minimum of 1/2" (13mm) 
thick insulation. Attach new piping to the elbow of the 
existing piping.
