STRUCTURAL PREPARATION

Note: The bath should remain in its shipping carton until time of installation.
1. Literature dimensions are for reference only. INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM
THE TUB.
2X access panels of at least 16" x 16"
Millennium 7 (See Figure A)
Millennium 8 (See Figure B)
Millennium 9 (See Figure C)
Millennium 10* (See Figure D)
*Needs two access panels
IT IS THE INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT SERVICE ACCESS AND TO ENSURE THAT
ACCESS PANELS AND/OR SERVICE OPENINGS ARE PROPERLY PLACED AND ACCESSIBLE.
2. Install the drain fitting to the bath. THE DRAIN FITTING MAY PROTRUDE BELOW THE BASE OF THE TUB. Clearance
must be provided for the drain by cutting away the subfloor (where possible) or by blocking below the tub as may be

required.
3. Tub must rest entirely on all leveling feet. DO NOT SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE TUB BY THE RIM. Lift unit and
place into framework. If necessary, adjust feet until unit is completely touching on the leveled sub floor. Secure the unit by
fastening the bottom feet to the sub floor with any construction adhesive caulk or screw the feet to the floor. For quieter
operation and heat conservation, the walls surrounding the air-whirlpool may be insulated.
4. Frame out under the tub rim as shown in one of the illustrations below. NOTE: Due to the variety of installations possible,
framing procedures other than those described may be required. Plumb in selected location using a level. Level front to
back and across both sides. A ledge under the rim, or an apron without a ledge, may be constructed as required (see
Figures 1A, 1B and 1C). Where installation will be against a wall, stud wall framing should allow for wall sheathing
material to run full length to the floor (see Figure 1D).
below rim to prevent deflection or movement of tub. To prevent a rocking movement of tub after installation, it is important
to have rim in contact, but not supported by blocking material.
5. When placing the tub on a platform or cut out (see Figures 1A, 1B and 1E), the opening should be 1" smaller than the
specified rim dimensions. Extreme care must be taken in this type of installation to ensure the tub will come to rest entirely
on the leveling feet.
