Soaker™ Bath Series
Fuzion™ Specific Material
The additional design features of the Fuzion™ require that the following steps be completed prior to installing the
bathtub in the constructed surround. The following steps must also be completed in the order specified:
•
Fuzion™ Overflow/Drain Installation
•
Fuzion™ Wood Frame Installation
Fuzion™ Faucet Installation
Selecting a faucet for rim mounting: The combined thickness at the rim of the bathtub shell and optional
wood deck is 2˝ (50mm) nominal. The length of the faucet tailpiece(s) must be long enough to extend past
this dimension and have ample clearance to assemble any hardware (i.e. locknut, water supply fittings, etc.)
necessary for installation. For undermount units, the combined thickness of the bathtub shell is ½˝ (12mm)
nominal and the undermount deck should not exceed the length of the faucet tailpiece(s), including any
assembly hardware.
Fuzion™ Overflow Drain Installation
Assemble in accordance with the local plumbing or
building codes.
Identify drain overflow kit provided with your
1
bathtub. Remove and open the overflow package
and confirm that all parts are present.
Remove washers and nuts from the overflow fitting.
2
Place a small bead of plumbers putty, silicone, or
3
similar approved sealant around the underside of
the top flange of the overflow fitting.
Place the overflow fitting into the overflow hole of
4
the bathtub (Figure 6).
From the underside of the unit, place the rubber
5
washer then locknut on the overflow fitting and
tighten securely. Be careful not to overtighten.
Assemble the remaining drain pieces as shown in
6
the illustration.
After the drain is fully installed, test for proper
7
drainage. If the unit does not drain properly, rectify
this condition before proceeding with further
bathtub installation.
Watertight installation of the drain and overflow
is the installer's responsibility. Drain leakage is
excluded from the Jacuzzi Luxury Bath warranty of
this product
OPTIONAL - If the Fuzion™ Wood Frame is not being used, please proceed to Step 2 in the Undermount Installation section.
