5. Install the Whirlpool
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
This cast iron whirlpool is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient
help to carefully lift and move it.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage.
Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the
piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage.
Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Carefully move the whirlpool into position. Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap.
Level the whirlpool by fitting metal shims under the whirlpool feet as needed. Check for level along
the top of the whirlpool, and across the drain side. If the feet are not accessible from the back or
side, move the whirlpool in and out of position to shim it properly. Make sure the whirlpool is
resting on all four feet.
6. Cut the Pump Banding Straps
IMPORTANT! This step is necessary to make your whirlpool operate more quietly.
Use tin snips to cut the two pump banding straps from the whirlpool pump.
NOTE:
Do not raise the pump higher than it was before you cut the pump banding straps. If the pump is
raised too high, it will not prime properly. Make sure the rubber isolation feet are in place.
To minimize whirlpool noise and vibration, be sure the pump is not in direct contact with the
whirlpool after the pump banding straps are cut. The pump control contains rubber isolation feet to
reduce pump noise.
7. Install the Plumbing
CAUTION: Risk of property damage.
Ensure a watertight seal on the whirlpool drain.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTICE:
An access panel will simplify future maintenance.
Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install the
faucet trim until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply
connections for leakage.
Run water into the whirlpool, and check the drain connections for leakage.
