Electrical Requirements
12
A 115 VAC, 15 AMP, 60 HZ., dedicated circuit connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required. The
GFCI should be mounted for easy access in the event a manual reset is required, and should never be mounted
underneath the tub. If the GFCI is located on a bathroom wall, it should be positioned such that it is not accessible
by the tub’s occupant.
SERVICE LOOP REQUIRED
The electrical installation of the bath unit requires that an electrical Service Loop be provided. The Service Loop
will allow the required electrical connections to be made to the junction box located on the side of the tub prior
to installation. The Service Loop should be a minimum of 8 ft. long as measured from either end of the tub. The
Service Loop should contain the electrical service (3 wire) and the required solid bonding ground wire. Each unit
is manufactured with a safe, convenient OFF button located on the command pad. A remote switch or timer is
not necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS / DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a dedicated 15 Amp. circuit protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. All electrical connections
should be performed by a licensed electrician. The tub obtains electrical service via an internal power cord and is left
unterminated in the electrical junction box located on the side of the tub. The junction box also provides an external
lug connector to accommodate a #8 AWG solid bonding conductor (ground wire).
See Illustration #1.
The required electrical connections to the tub are as follows:
1 The electrical service is hardwire connected (3 wires) to the tub’s power cord, ground wire and optional light cord,
which are all located inside the provided junction box. These connections need to use approved connectors and be
solidly secured.
2 Installation of a #8 AWG solid bonding connector (ground wire) from the lug connector attached to the junction box
to earth ground. The #8 AWG ground wire is not provided with the bath unit.
MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
When mounting valves, spouts, handles, rails,
or grab bars, verify the location of any system
wiring or components located on the back of the
unit to prevent accidental damage from drilling
mounting holes. Verify that the hot and cold
water supply lines and the electrical outlet are
located where there is ample room for proper
connections
BEFORE
setting the unit in place.
When mounting any fittings on the unit, drill
holes from the finished surface using a fine-tooth
or abrasive grit cutting edge.
