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.
