13. Complete the Finished Wall
NOTE:
Locate and size the holes for the valves, shower control, spout, and/or shower in the walls
according to the manufacturer’s requirements.
IMPORTANT!
When applying the water-resistant wall material over the whirlpool flange, leave a 1/4
″
(6
mm) gap between the whirlpool rim edge and the wall material. This gap helps to reduce the possibility
of water seeping into the wall material.
Brush all dust and debris from the whirlpool flange.
Cover the framing with water-resistant wall material.
Seal the 1/4
″
(6 mm) gap between the whirlpool rim edge and the water-resistant wall material with
100% silicone sealant.
Install the finished wall over the water-resistant wall material.
14. Finish the Installation
CAUTION: Risk of property damage.
Make sure a watertight seal exists around the whirlpool
drain and overflow, or the whirlpool may leak.
For All Installations
Apply clear 100% silicone sealant to all openings around the valves and outlets before installing the
cover plates or flanges. Allow the sealant to cure.
Install the faucet trim according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Remove the protective covering from the basin of the whirlpool.
Apply clear 100% silicone sealant between the whirlpool and the finished floor or baseboard.
Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
For Miscellaneous Accessory Installations
CAUTION: Risk of property damage.
Do not make additional holes in the wall surround or
whirlpool without adding adequate clear 100% silicone sealant. Additional holes made to install any
accessories may cause leakage.
NOTE:
For installations with wall surrounds, install the shower curtain rod above the top of the wall
surrounds.
Install any accessories according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
