A.  Summary of Key Requirements

□  Observe all local plumbing codes.
□  Install the unit to a level subfloor.
□  Provide properly-dimensioned framing.

B.  Plumbing Specifications

If using a rim-mounted bath faucet, flexible connections between the valves and spout may be required. Confirm 

adequate mounting, connection space of specified faucet for your installation.

Carefully unpack and inspect the bath with airjets for damage. Leave all materials in the carton during constructions 

to prevent damage.

the  pump  and  controls.  The  access  must  be  located  immediately  next  to  the  pump.  Study  the  roughing-in 

information packed with the whirlpool (the size of access panel should not less than 500 x 450 mm).
