NOTICE: Before covering the framing, perform the
following procedure: Open the hot and cold water
valves, and check all supply connections for leaks. Fill

drain connections for leaks. Operate the whirlpool for 5
minutes, and again check all connections for leakage.
Protect the whirlpool surface. Cover the framing and
walls with water-resistant wall material. Tape and mud
the wall material. Seal the wall material and joints under
the whirlpool rim. Install the finish wall material to the
subwall. Use silicone sealant to seal the joints between
