INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs as
needed. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an access
opening for servicing the pump and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the
drain components. The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.
1. Position the whirlpool into the installation opening and level the deck in both directions, shimming the integral leveling feet IF
necessary. Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).
2. Remove the whirlpool and attach a 1 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line.
!
The rim of the bath must not support weight.
3. Install drain components to the whirlpool following the drain installation instructions.
Before replacing your whirlpool for final installation, be certain that an opening has
been provided in the sub-floor for the drain. See the roughing-in drawing and
Table 1 for suggested opening size (shadowed) and location dimensions. The
drain/overflow of the bath extends below the bottom of the bath. Note that this
requires a cutout in the floor.
The floor structure beneath the bath must be able to support a total weight of bath,
!
water, and bather. Refer to Table 1 under total weight for your model.
The bath must be supported along its entire bottom. Use mortar as
bedding material (do not use sand or foam). Apply enough mortar to support
the complete bottom of the bath. After the mortar has been poured, and before
it sets, position whirlpool or bath within recess until the rim is leveled against
the leveling stringers (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below.
The rim of the bath must not support weight. Allow the mortar material to
!
completely harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any
finish material such as tile or wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts
the deck of the bath.
