Inspection and Testing
Visual Inspection
1
Remove the bathtub from the shipping carton. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the bathtub on exposed staples.
Remove the staples or fold them into the carton. Retain the carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has been made.
Do not lift the bathtub by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only.
2
Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish or visible damage to
any components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after the bathtub is installed is excluded
from the warranty. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath’s responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon delivery of the products in good
order to the carrier.
3
Refer any claims for damage to the carrier. For definitions of warranty coverage and limitations, refer to the published
warranty information packed with the product.
All bathtub units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. However, the unit must be
retested by the installer prior to installation. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath is not responsible for any defect that could have been discovered,
repaired, or avoided by following this inspection and testing procedure:
1
Place the bathtub on a level surface, near appropriate water supply, and water drainage. A driveway is a suitable choice.
2
Seal the drain and overflow hole with tape or a stopper and fill the bathtub to the bottom of the overflow hole.
3
Allow bathtub to stand for 5 minutes.
4
Visually inspect all joints for leaks. Do not install the bathtub if leaks are detected.
5
Return bathtub to box or otherwise protect from damage until time of installation.
Bathtub Water and Operational Test
Prepare the sub floor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
1
The drain/overflow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical Specifications
section that corresponds with your bathtub (available on www.jacuzzi.com).
2
Determine the location of the basin. The floor must be flat and level.
3
Make appropriate cuts to the Sub floor to accommodate the drain.
Please refer to the drawing(s) in the Technical Specifications section that correspond to your bathtub.
Sub Floor
Faucet elements must be installed in the recommended area (Fig. 1). Please refer to the Technical Specifications that correspond
to your bathtub model for the recommended faucet areas. Not all bathtub models are compatible with deck-mounted faucet
installation. Before drilling, position faucet elements to make sure that they do not interfere with other components such as
overflow, plumbing, or supply valves. Some bathtub models without the integrated overflow may required the Low-Profile Overflow
Kit (MU66000) for centerset faucet installation. This kit is included with bathtub
models that require it.
Faucet elements must be attached to a 36” (914 mm) long ½” stainless steel
braided hoses so you can lift the bathtub when needed.
Apply masking tape on the finished side of the bathtub deck prior
to drilling to prevent chipping. Follow the installation instructions
provided by the faucet manufacturer, mark the locations of the faucet
elements on the deck and drill the holes directly on the finished side.
If installing the faucet on the same side
as the overflow, make sure there is no
interference between the two before drilling.
