Check your order details when installing outside of these territories.
REMOTE INSTALLATION OF AIR BLOWER AND SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Due to limited space between the tub walls, remote placement of the blower and some therapy system
components is necessary. These components may be safely remote located while maintaining optimal
performance and easy operation when the following conditions are met.
• Place the blower within 8' of the tub to reduce heat loss.
• The blower, control boxes, and electrical outlet must be accessible for future servicing.
• Installation location of these components must be properly ventilated to keep components from
overheating and climate controlled to avoid the impact of cold ambient air on the performance of the
blower and guard against humidity that can be corrosive to electronics.
• The blower requires approximately 2 ft³ of space and a 1" x 4" vent for proper circulation. Do not use
insulation within 8" of the blower, and never wrap insulation around the blower as this will cause the
equipment to fail.
• There must be a GFCI electrical outlet on a 110 VAC at the recommended size for the air system and
options selected for your tub within 2ft of the blower. See electrical requirements above and your order
details.
• A keypad (on/off device) installed remote of the tub must always be connected with one continuous cable.
Never use a spliced or coupled data cable. MTI can provide a data cable up to a 12' length. Cables in
excess of 12' may be acquired from local electronics suppliers.
IMPORTANT: before fishing cables and completing installation, always test the cable with the system
components. Instructions for system operation are on pages 11-14. MTI is not repsponsible for system failures
due to the use of parts that are not supplied by MTI Baths.
The best location for the air blower is directly below the tub between the floor joists. This location keeps the
air blower close to the tub and often offers easy access from below. If the room below has a finished ceiling,
there are many fixtures, such as HVAC cold air returns, that can be used to camouflage the access panel in the
ceiling and vent the space. If access below the tub cannot be made available in your home, there are several
other locations where the blower can be located, such as an adjacent closet or vanity.
TIP: To reduce heat loss, use rigid 1" PVC when extending the airline from the tub to the blower location, and
wrap the PVC in pipe insulation. MTI offers blower boxes, in various styles and finishes, to house the blower
near the tub. Find these bathroom accessories and more at www.mtibaths.com.

drain sensor wire needs to be lengthened, you may splice in 18 gauge, low voltage wire. Be sure to save the
two pin connector to allow reconnection to the blower!
Always store electrical equipment in a dry place away from bather.
