RECESS MOUNT INSTALLATION (with MUD-BOX)

Step 1: Install Conduit
Prepare the mounting location near the spa: Install a one (1) inch conduit where the
remote control is to be located (see Figure 1). Conduit may be reduced down to ¾-
inch or ½-inch after the first three (3) inches cast into the spa area. Be sure the conduit
is perpendicular to the surface (90° angle). Run the conduit, using sweep elbows for
turns from the spa to the low voltage raceway of EasyTouch
System load center.
Step 2: Install Mud-Box
Mount the mud-box over the conduit. Trim the conduit so that it just protrudes into the
mud-box. The fit will be loose. Orient the mud-box so that the spa-side remote is
square with the deck or spa wall (see Figure 1). Secure the mud-box and plumbing
together using neutral cure caulking or RTV. Insert the mud-box cover (secure with two
screws) until the deck or spa wall are finished, discard cover when completed (keep
the screws for bracket installation).
Note: If needed, a nipple is provided in the mud-box for drainage. Cut the end of the
nipple and attach a piece of ½-inch tubing. Run the tubing to the appropriate drainage
location away from the spa-side remote before finishing the deck or spa wall.
