Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for
your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.
The whirlpool should be installed as a corner, drop-
in, or flush installation. Construct 2x4 stud framing
designed for your particular installation. Frame the
floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in
accordance with the roughing-in information packed
with the whirlpool.
Use the roughing-in cut-out information to carefully
lay out and cut the rough deck material. For flush-
mount installation, allow for the thickness of the
planned deck material.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in
information packed. Cap the supplies, and check for
leaks.

We recommend a tiling-in bead for straight-rimmed
whirlpools if one or more sides of the whirlpool
contact a wall. This bead prevents water from
seeping between the whirlpool rim and the wall.
Follow the instructions packed with the tiling-in bead
to install the bead now.
Install the drain to the whirlpool according to the
drain manufacturer s instructions. Do not connect
the trap at this time.
Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the
bottom of the whirlpool. Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the whirlpool.
