11. INSTALL WHIRLPOOL
A. WHIRLPOOL SET-IN
Choose one of the three recommended options below
that is best for your particular installation as described in
1., 2., or 3. Follow the appropriate instructions.
If subfloor is not level, some shimming of the bath and
pump will be necessary. See 11.B. for height
adjustment.
1.
Sunken Installation: Set unit into sunken
installation. Make sure the bath/whirlpool is level
and is resting on all blocks. Insert the tailpiece into
the trap. Apply a bead of RTV sealant under rim of
the bath unit.
2.
Install Using Gypsum: Place a 2” thick layer of
gypsum cement (such as Gyp-Crete 2000) on the
floor where the whirlpool is to be set. This will help
secure, level and support the bath. Set bath into
position. Clear any excess cement from vicinity of
the pump.
NOTE: Pump bracket must sit flat on the floor.
Insert tailpiece into trap. Make sure bath is level
and resting on all supporting blocks.
3.
Install Using 1 x 2 Strips: Set whirlpool in desired
location and level. Nail 1 x 2 wood strips around
blocks under the whirlpool to firmly hold it in
position. It is not necessary to use strips on all
blocks. They are only needed on blocks that are to
the outside edges of your installation.
Insert tailpiece into trap. Make sure bath is level and
resting on all supporting blocks.
