4. Install the tap and faucet components at this point, making sure to check with local, state, and
federal code and regulations pertaining to positioning. Since soldering of the joints will likely be
necessary, be extremely careful not to start a fire.
5. Install the 1 1/2” drain and overflow assemblies (
not included
). Be sure adequate drain ventila-
tion is supplied. Once again, check with local, state, and federal code and regulations. Be sure
to install an inline trap after the drain and overflow have been joined.
6. Once the plumbing is complete, open the shut-off valves if not already done.
7. BE SURE THE TUB IS COMPLETELY CLEAN BEFORE FILLING.
a)
On standard models
: fill the tub to the overflow. Check for leaks around the overflow
area. Let the water sit in the tub for at least 20 minutes, occasionally checking the
drain area under the tub. Drain the water from the tub, checking for leaks around the
drain and in the waste piping and its connections.
b)
On hydrotherapy-equipped models
: Fill the tub with water to typical bathing water
level. Run the blower for about 20 minutes, constantly checking for any leaks or seep
age from the jets, piping, and drain. Shut off the blower, and fill the tub to the over
flow. Check for any leaks around the overflow area. Let the water sit in the tub for at
least 5 minutes, since not all leaks are obvious when the hydrotherapy blower is run-
ning. Finally, drain the tub and check for leaks in the waste piping and connections.
c)
On heated shower deck-equipped models
: Rotate the timer switch installed by the
electrician,
to
the
ON
position and set for 30 minutes. After a few minutes the heated
seating
deck
should
begin
to feel warm to the touch. Fill the tub to the overflow.
Check for leaks around the overflow area. Let the water sit in the tub for at least 20
minutes, occasionally checking the drain area under the tub. Drain the water from the
tub, checking for leaks around the drain and in the waste piping and its connections.
