NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your
whirlpool for specific floor loading requirements.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
The whirlpool should be installed in an alcove installation (a two wall installation is also
acceptable).
Install an access panel to allow the pump to be serviced.
Construct brick or concrete supports. When installing with two walls, the supports on the flanged
side of the whirlpool should rise to the top of the flange.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
