Service Access
Service access is through the removable panel in the
integral skirt. Allow a space of at least 8" away from the
bath for skirt removal.
The skirt is designed to accommodate the added
height of the tile, linoleum or other floor coverings up to
1-1/4" above the floor, and will be flush with the floor
when installed.
When the bath is not installed with the skirt, provide
adequate ventilation (minimum 30 square inch opening)
for cooling of the motor and sufficient air supply for jets.
Electrical Connections
A separate 115 VAC 15 AMP circuit, which must be
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI),
is required. Because these units are manufactured with
a safe, convenient Magic Touch whirlpool ON/OFF
switch on the bath itself, no remote switch or timer is
necessary. Install a 115 VAC, 15 AMP duplex outlet to
the studwall underneath the bathtub, at least 4" above
the floor. Duplex outlet is not provided.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect
only to a circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.
CAUTION: Operating the motor/pump without suffi-
cient water in the bath can cause leaking and perma-
nent damage to the pump. Before power is applied
to the installation, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position to avoid pump damage.
If installation of an optional timer is desired, refer to
wiring instructions provided with the timer. An optional
timer is available from Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath for 115
VAC operation.
Plumbing
Pump, jets and suction fittings for the whirlpool sys-
tem are factory plumbed in PVC schedule 40 piping.
All Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath products are factory tested
for proper operation and watertight connections prior to
shipping. If leaks are detected, notify your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath Dealer, do not install the unit.
Water Supply
Consult local authorities for plumbing code require-
ments in your area.
IMPORTANT: Proper installation of the fill spout
plumbing and compliance with local codes is the
responsibility of the installer. Jacuzzi Whirlpool
Bath does not warrant connections of water supply
fittings and piping, fill systems or drain/overflow
systems. Nor is it responsible for damage to the bath
which occurs during any installation procedure.
