NOTES
Finished alcove must have correct interior dimensions, as shown in the rough-in diagrams in the Technical
Specifications Manual, to properly install unit. For three wall alcove installations, use an integral molded three-sided
tiling flange bathtubs. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath does not recommend utilizing bathtubs without an integral tiling flange in an
alcove installation where a shower head would be installed above the unit and utilized as a shower.
•
In remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a vertical nailing surface for the side nailing flanges of
bath fixture product.
•
To avoid obstructions during installation make sure that supply lines, spout pipe and valve plumbing do not project
into alcove.
•
Bathtubs require a 6" x 12" (150mm x 305mm) floor opening for the 1 ½" (38mm) drain, waste and overflow (DWO)
kit.
•
Be sure floor opening location matches bathtub fixture drain location.
•
Use of casting plaster/plaster of paris (foundation material) is recommended in all commercial structures (i.e. hotels,
motels, dormitories, health clubs, etc.).
•
The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bathtub and not solely from the bathtub rim.

Property Standards.
•
Per UPC code, access must be provided to the
pump/motor for your specific model (Figure 1). It is the
responsibility of the installer, building contractor, or

responsible for any costs relating to obtaining access for
repair. The owner shall bear such costs and, if
appropriate, must seek recovery from the installer.
Primary and secondary service access locations are
shown in the rough-in diagrams contained in the
Technical Specifications Manual.

Provide adequate ventilation for cooling and supply
sufficient air for the pump/motor. Do not insulate around
the equipment.
