Complete the bathtub surround installation (Figure 8).
1
Install drain/overflow according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Refer also to the
Technical Specifications Manual.
Watertight installation of the drain is the installer’s
responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded from the
Jacuzzi Luxury Bath warranty of this product.
2
Install the faucet at this time. It is recommended
that the faucet be installed by a qualified plumber.
Proper installation of the spout plumbing and
compliance with local codes are the responsibility of
the installer. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath does not warrant
connections of water supply fittings and piping,
fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor is it
responsible for damage to the bathtub which may
occur during installation.
A non-flammable protective barrier must be placed
between the soldering work and the bathtub unit to
prevent damage to the bathtub.
3
Prepare the cut-out hole for the bathtub using
either the provided full scale template or the cutout
dimensions listed in the specifications table in the
Technical Specifications Manual.
The template may show guides for more than one
bathtub, be certain to select the appropriate guide
lines. If under mounting is an option, be careful to
select the guide lines that apply to the installation
that you are performing.
4
Complete all deck finish work and cover to protect
from damaging while placing the bathtub.
5
Insulation may be placed within the bathtub
surround.
Provide adequate ventilation around the motor/
pump to ensure sufficient airflow and cooling.
6
Turn off power supply to dedicated GFCI protected
circuits.
7
Place a piece of scrap lumber on each of the ends
of the cutout – this will be used as a temporary
support prior to lowering the bathtub fully into the
opening (Figure 9).
