Assembly

After unpacking your ShowerSpa, some assembly is required prior to installation.

Shower Arm Assembly

       secure shower arm to ShowerSpa.

  2.  Attach hose fitting to shower arm (3) ensuring rubber washer is still in hose fitting. Do not over-tighten.

Hand Shower Holder Assembly

  1.   Insert hand shower holder (8) into hole located on side of ShowerSpa and secure with nut (9). 

  2.   Secure nut (9) with adjustable wrench if needed. 

After ShowerSpa is mounted to the wall

Hand Shower Assembly

  1.   Insert washer (5) into hexagon shaped end of hand shower hose (6) and attach to threaded outlet on bottom of ShowerSpa. Do not over-

tighten.

  2.   Insert washer (5) into tapered end of hand shower hose (6) and attach to hand shower (7). Insert hand shower into holder (8).

Installation – New  Construction

Extensive Remodel – New Finished Wall Surface

  1.   Prior to sheetrock, stub-out ½" hot and cold supply lines beyond 

finished wall surface, 4" on center. For best results, attach 90° 
brass fittings (available at most hardware stores) to the stub-outs 
maintaining ¼" – ½" of space between the fitting and finished 
wall. The open end of the 90° brass fittings should point down so 
the ShowerSpa's supply lines attach parallel to wall. 

1

 

  2.   For a person 5'8" – 6'2" we recommend stub-outs be 38" above 

finished floor. 

2

  3.   Before installation, make certain water is 

COMPLETELY TURNED 

OFF

 to both hot & cold supply lines of shower. 

 4a.   Mark location of holes for top mount, making sure holes are 

level. For a person 5'8" – 6'2", we recommend placing holes of 
upper mount at approx. 70¼" above finished floor. 

2

 4b.   To determine location for lower mount measure distance           

between indents on bottom edge of horizontal mounting bars 
on back of ShowerSpa (approx. 34

5

8

"). Using this distance,       

measure down from holes in upper mount to obtain location of 
holes in lower mount making certain mounts are plumb.

 4c.   Use mounts to mark location of holes for each mount.

  5.   Before drilling holes, make certain that connecting to stub-outs 

DOES NOT INTERFERE with backside of ShowerSpa and it is flush 
with finished wall at desired mounting height. 

3

  6.   Drill ¼" holes through wall surface using a masonry bit. Drill 

slowly through wall surface to avoid cracking and chipping. Insert 
anchors and securely screw brackets to wall. Before connecting 
hot and cold supply lines, hang ShowerSpa on wall, check height 
and make sure ShowerSpa is flush against wall with a secure fit.

  7.   Connect hot and cold water supply lines to stub-outs—DO NOT 

OVERTIGHTEN. Before mounting ShowerSpa, check fittings to 
make sure they are secure. Turn on water and check for leaks. 
When fittings are leak-free, mount ShowerSpa on wall.

 8. 

 OPTIONAL—

Seal around body of ShowerSpa with a bead of 

silicone. DO NOT SEAL BOTTOM.
