    Plumbing Be certain ALL plumbing work is performed by a qualified plumber. 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. The hot water supply to the tub MUST NOT exceed 110° F (43° C) to protect the user from  scalding. When operating water pressure exceeds 55 p.s.i., pressure regulators (similar to the ¾‐ inch Watts U5) MUST be installed.
