INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs
as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an
access opening for servicing the pump and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for
access to the drain components.
NOTE: The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.
1. As shown in Fig. 1, mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs at the height indicated,
using a level or other suitable straight edge.
2. With the top of the 2 x 4 stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.
3. Install drain components to the whirlpool following the manufacturers instructions. Before replacing your whirlpool for final
installation, be certain that an opening has been provided in the sub-floor for the drain. See the roughing-in drawing for
suggested opening size and location dimensions.
4. This bath must be supported along its entire bottom in all types of installations. We recommend the use of mortar or
plaster as bedding material (sand is not recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete bottom of the
bath. After the bedding has been poured, and before it sets, lower the bath into place until the rim is leveled against the
leveling stringers (see "Typical Installation Methods"). The rim of the bath MUST NOT support weight. Allow the bedding
material to completey harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath. Any finish material such as tile or
wall board must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath.
