Air Blower ....................................................................................... 9.5 AMP
System components supplied with MTI tubs intended for installation within the U.S. & Cananda are limited to 110V. Check your order
details when installing outside of these territories.
Airbath Installation Instructions
Read all installation instructions before beginning install.
The blower and check valve must be remotely located within 8’ of the tub (
See Illustration A on the page 9
). A common location is a
closet or cabinet. The check valve must be 2” above the height of the top of the tub rim and can be mounted to the framing or wall with
pipe hanger, pipe clamp, metal straps or wire ties. MTI SculpureStone airbaths come with a remote control and optional keypad.
Blower Installation
• Installation location of the blower must be properly ventilated to keep it from overheating and climate controlled to avoid the impact of
cold ambient air on the performance of the blower and guard against humidity that can be corrosive to the electronics.
• 14” x 16” access must be provided for future servicing.
• The blower requires approximately 2ft3 of space and 1” x 4” vent for proper circulation. Do not use insulation within 8” of the blower,
and never wrap insulation around the blower as this will cause the equipment to fail.
• Secure blower using wood screws through the mounting feet.
• Within 2 ft. of the blower, there must be a GFCI electrical outlet on a 110 VAC that is the recommended size for the air system. The GFCI
outlet must be accessible for future servicing.
Note:
MTI does not recommend locating the blower more than 8’ from the tub to prevent heat loss from the blower to the tub. 1” schedule
40 PVC pipe and pipe insulation may be used to help retain the warmth of air from the blower.
See Important Safety Information on page 1 of this manual and Electrical Specifications below. This circuit must be connected to a supply
that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and accessible for testing
on a routine basis.
Testing The Gfci:
Push the
TEST
button. The GFCI should interrupt power.
Push the
RESET
button. Power should be restored.
WARNING:
If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, there is a ground current flowing, indicating the possibility of electric shock.
DO NOT use this unit. Disconnect the unit and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
Every MTI air blower is supplied with a 29” grounded cord and NEMA plug to be plugged into a grounded receptacle*.
Do not remove
this plug.
If a wall mount switch is desired to control use of the unit, the switch should control the receptacle.
Under no circumstance
should you alter the provided supply cord.
Before servicing unit, shut off all electrical outlets as more than one outlet may be energized.
*Air blowers do not require a bonding conductor.
