2. Construct support framing (see WARNING next to diagram below) for the tub, allowing for a 16” X 20” access opening

for servicing the pump/motor on whirlpool models.

3. DECK / PENINSULAR INSTALLATION - Deck surface can be any width. Allow for the thickness of the wall board and

tile or other surface material between the deck (see “Height to Lip” illustration D & F above) and underside of the tub lip.

4. ALCOVE / CORNER INSTALLATION - Wooden 1” X 4” support stringers must be attached to surrounding walls at the

recommended height. If you use a skirt, refer to the specic skirt installation instructions provided with that product.

NOTE: Alcove and corner installations may require the use of a Tile Flange Kit (Part# 494-0060) to prevent water from

pentrating the wall board. After the framing is complete, set the product in place to check the t and make certain that it

can be properly leveled. (Caution: if the tub is not level - use the deck surface for checking the level - water will not drain

properly.)

WARNING: Never support the tub by its deck-lip or stringers, as this could result in product failure and will void

the Warranty. Level and ll the tub with water and test it for proper operation and drainage or possible water leaks due to

transit-handling damage. Remove the tub from its framing.

5. The tub MUST be supported from the tub bottom and not the tub lip. The lip should only rest on the nished deck

surface or support stringers. The tub bottom must be supported by a setting compound (fast cure materials are not

recommended due to excessive shrinkage). Tubs with a pre-leveled base (wood or Co-Ex) must also be supported by

setting compound, although tubs with a Co-Ex base require less setting material. A sheet of plastic lm, both under and

on the top of compound is recommended as a barrier. The tub should be set in place (do not handle the whirlpool by the

piping) while the compound is still soft and the compound will conform to the tub bottom. The tub should be worked down

into the compound so the lip of the tub just barely makes contact with the nished deck surface or support stringers. It

may be necessary to partially ll the tub with water to aid in properly setting the tub.

6. Verify that the product is level by checking the tub deck surface.

7. Place the ll spout and supply lines at your desired location. If you are installing the spout and supply lines on the deck

of the tub, mark the location rst and drill pilot holes from the acrylic side (top) of the product. Use a properly sized hole

saw, and drill the spout and supply line holes from the acrylic side of product.

8. Connect the water supply lines and the waste overow.

9. Plug the pump cord into specied dedicated 120V/20A GFCI outlet to supply electrical power to the system. The cord

and the plug are shipped with your system.

10. After plumbing and electrical connections have been made the tub should be cleaned of dirt and debris. Follow

“Cleaning and Maintenance” instructions in this manual.

11. In nish-out of Corner/Alcove installation, be certain to allow for an expansion gap between wall board and tub deck as

well as between tile or other water material and tub deck.

Installing an Oval Tub with Template

Our oval tubs have a template printed on the carton box. The template is one inch smaller all around than the actual rim of

the tub. This provides the tub rim with sufcient margin for an overlap with the platform.

1. Cut out the template with scissors or another suitable tool.

2. Place the template on to the desired location of your tub platform and use it to trace the shape with a pencil or marker.

3. Cut a hole in the platform according to the tracing.

4. Place the tub carefully in the cut out hole of the platform. Take special care that you do not to drop the tub in the

platform cutout, because the tub might break and the ensuing warranty limitations would become effective.

5. Read and follow installation procedures above.

Installing an In Line Heater

IN LINE HEATERS ALWAYS REQUIRE THEIR OWN DEDICATED 20 AMP, 120 VOLT, GFCI

PROTECTED CIRCUIT.

WARNING:

Framing may need to be adusted after

setting the unit in leveling compound.

The height to lip and overall height

will be increased depending on the

amount of setting compound used.
