LuxeAir Series Owner's Manual & Installation Guide

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 STRUCTURAL PREPARATION (CONTINUED)

5.  When placing the tub on a platform or cut out, the opening should be 1” smaller than the specified rim dimensions. 

Extreme care must be taken in this type of installation to ensure the tub will come to rest entirely on the leveling feet or 

ABS Support Base.

6.  IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED A WHIRLPOOL WITH AN INSTALLED TILE FLANGE, PROCEED TO INSTRUCTION “2A”.

 FACTORY INSTALLED TILE FLANGE

 

SEE FIGURE 2

A.  Install the whirlpool bath unit per the instructions provided in this manual. 
 

CAUTION: THE TILE FLANGE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE TUB! 

A ledger board must be provided under the bath 

rim as indicated in the installation instructions. Take care to ensure tub is not hanging from the ledger boards, as 

this will void your warranty.

B.  Use nails or screws to secure the flange into the studs around the bath. 
C.  Install water resistant drywall against the tile flange and flush to the top of the whirlpool deck. Install the tile or 

other finishing materials. Apply a second bead of silicone between the first course of tile and the bath deck.

NOTE:

 Before tub is used, the whirlpool system should be cleaned  

in accordance with the procedures on Page 21 of this manual.

 LUXEAIR 31 & 32 - INTEGRALLY SKIRTED BATHS

ALCOVE FRAMING AND PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

1.  Protect interior of tub throughout installation procedures.

2.  Before moving unit into alcove see and follow enclosed Electrical Installation Procedures (electrical hookups will be 

difficult to perform if unit is installed first.)

IMPORTANT! BEFORE INSTALLATION BEGINS, MAKE SURE THAT:

1.  Framed-in alcove is of proper size, square and plumb. 

2.  Walls and floors meet fire safety requirements of local building code and/or FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards. 

Before installation of the panel, fill the unit, test the whirlpool system for proper operation and check for leaks, then drain.

3.  A mortar base is prepared (this is mandatory for proper installation).
