1. Prepare the Site - Wood Construction

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 may be used in a drop-in, corner, or alcove installation. Construct 2x4 stud framing designed for
your particular installation. Frame the floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with the
roughing-in information packed with the whirlpool.
- Use the roughing-in cut-out information to carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material.
- Install an access panel to allow the pump to be serviced.
- Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.

2. Prepare the Whirlpool

- We recommend a tiling-in bead for straight-rimmed whirlpools, if one or more sides of the whirlpool contact a
wall. This bead prevents water from seeping between the whirlpool rim and the wall. Follow the instructions
packed with the tiling-in bead to install the bead now.
- Install the drain to the whirlpool according to the drain manufacturer's instructions. Do not connect the trap at
this time.
- Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the whirlpool. Be careful not to scratch the surface
of the whirlpool.
