NOTICE:
Unless otherwise specified, floor support under the whirlpool must provide for a minimum of
80 lbs/square foot (390 kg/square meter) loading.
NOTICE:
Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
The whirlpool should be installed in a drop-in, flush, or tiled ledge installation. Construct 2x4 or 2x6
stud framing designed for your particular installation. Provide for a 1/16
″
(2 mm) gap between the
bottom of the whirlpool rim and the stud framing for drop-in installations. Frame the floor, or
construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with the roughing-in information packed
with the whirlpool.
Carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. Use the cut-out template if one is provided, or
refer to the roughing-in cut-out information.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
