Remote Blower Location Option - American Standard Green Tea Whirlpool and Bath Tubs 3572 Installation Manual

REMOTE BLOWER LOCATION OPTION

IMPORTANT!
It is not necessary that the blower motor be relocated. This option is provided for the case that a particular
installation makes this effort practical.
NOTE:
Relocating blower motor from factory installed location, see photo W, will require disassembly of air blower from mounting
board. Keep all hardware for reattachment at new location. Additional hardware will be required depending upon final desired
position of air blower. Follow all instructions listed below.
TYPICAL VIEW
NOTE:
Installing the blower in a remote location will reduce the system efficiency.
NOTE:
Relocating a blower motor still requires a service access for the blower.
NOTE:
All materials needed for the relocation must be supplied by the installer. This includes ordering a longer control panel cable
(P/N 75405-0071A).
A separate circuit, which must be protected by the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), is required in the remote location.
Electrical connections should be performed by a licensed electrician.
Choose a space as close to the bath as possible so the system works as efficiently as possible. The space must be at least 30 cubic
feet and the blower must be mounted at least  inches above the floor and  inches minimum away from any wall. The blower must
NOT be installed in an attic area.
The blower motor must be located within 1 feet of rigid piping from the bath air manifold. This limitation is for the total pipe length
and applies to any direction changes and elbows. There can be no more than six changes of direction. There should be as few
direction changes as possible and the piping installation must meet all requirements of local plumbing and building codes.
Disconnect the blower from the flexible hose as shown in photo X. Do NOT remove the check valve manifold that is mounted to the
underside of the air bath. The manifold MUST remain mounted above the tub overflow level as shown in X.
TYPICAL VIEW
Use 1 1/" PVC rigid piping and couplings to extend the blower motor location as shown in photos Y and Z. Detach the flexible hose
section from the blower end and extend the air line by adding the appropriate length of PVC piping. Mount the blower in a horizontal
direction using the mounting screws provided with the air bath system. Do NOT glue piping to either the manifold or blower. These
couplings MUST be attached to the piping with screws as shown in photos Y and Z. Glue only the PVC piping and couplings needed
to extend the air line. Let the glued couplings set overnight before attaching the blower and manifold couplings with screws.
CAUTION: It is imperative to let the glued piping set overnight as there may be fumes from the glue that could be ignited if not
allowed to dissipate.
