INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
reMOTe MOunTIng Of aIr BlOwer
The Jason AirMasseur
®
system has been factory installed
following E.T.L. guidelines. During installation, if remote
mounting of the blower and its control box is desired, follow
these procedures.
Note: Do not remote mount the blower and control box more
than 15 feet [457 cm] away from the air inlet of the bath.
Choose a location as close as possible to the bath to assure
maximum efficiency.
1. Determine layout. The installer is to determine the layout
of the piping, exact remote mount location, and service
access before beginning any work.
a. Use 1.5" [38 mm] ABS or PVC plastic tubing.
b. Locate the control box with the blower in an area
accessible for servicing.
c. To ensure proper functioning of the system, avoid
remote mounting in a location which requires more
than six (6) piping direction changes. A 90° direction
change should be made up of two 45° elbows for
maximum efficiency.
2. Install the blower and control box in the remote
location.
a. A minimum ventilation opening of 2" x 4"
[5 cm x 10 cm] for the blower is required, and should
be designed to draw in indoor ambient air at a mini-
mum of 72°F (22°C).
b. Attach the blower mount firmly to the floor.
c. Attach the piping to the blower’s check valve. Use
screws to attach the pipe to the check valve and route
the hose to the remote blower tubing floor cutout
location.
CAUTION: Do NOT use ABS or PVC glue near
the blower, it could ignite and cause a fire.
3. Attach hose. Attach one end of the blower hose to the
bath connection with the included clamp.
4. Pipe stub out. Extend piping stub-out through the floor
as illustrated in Figure 9. Piping between the remote
blower location and the bath can be insulated using a
minimum of 1/2" [12 mm] thick insulation.
WARNING: Any modification to the equipment is not
recommended and will VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S
WARRANTY.
5. Attach hose. Attach the other end of the hose to the
1-1/2" [38 mm] PVC pipe that is plumbed to the blower
with the included clamp.
6. Route cables. Route the keypad cable, low water level/
temperature sensor cable (if applicable), and the light
cable through the floor cutout to be connected to the
control box.
WARNING: When routing cables, do not allow the
cable to be pinched under the bath shell.
Use the tie buttons attached to the bath to support the
cables.
Note: A minimum of 4 feet [122 cm] of hose and cable
must be free from binding to allow for pulling the
cables back up through the floor cutout.
During installation if it is preferred to run the blower
hose on top of the floor, a 2 1/2" [6.35 cm] diameter
hole can be drilled at the bottom of the skirt. A means
to cover the hole, hose, and wires is not provided.
See Figure 9.
7. Return to the bath installation section to finish installation
of the freestanding bath.
