DANGER
Be certain all plumbing work is performed by a qualified plumber and is in compliance with local codes. Check local codes regarding
maximum water temperature allowed at hot water outlets for facility type.
WARNINGS
Be certain all plumbing work is performed by a qualified plumber and is in compliance with local codes.
Some state and local plumbing codes require the installation of a "reduced pressure zone" (RPZ) assembly on both the incoming hot and
cold supply lines to prevent back flow contamination into the potable water system. Invacare recommends you check local plumbing
code requirements to determine if RPZs are required on your tub installation. RPZs are NOT supplied by Invacare and are to be
provided by the customer if required.
