Service Access
For partially or fully sunken installations, allow for access to ser-
vice connections. It is the installer's responsibility to provide suffi-
cient service access. The recommended minimum dimensions al-
lowable for service to the bath are shown in the "Service Access"
illustration.
Provide adequate area around unit for air circulation for cooling
the motor and to supply sufficient air to the jets. Do not insulate this
area or around motor.
Optional RapidHeat Service Access
Where tubs have been ordered with the optional RapidHeat
heater consider an additional service access.
If service access has not been provided, it is the home owners
responsibility to remove the bath and provide the required
access, should a repair become necessary.
Service Access with Skirt
An optional skirt fits along the side of the bath for above-floor
installations and is also an access panel for servicing. Allow a space
of at least 8 inches away from the bath for skirt removal.
The skirt is designed to accommodate the added height of the
tile, linoleum, or other floor coverings up to 1-1/4 inches above the
floor, and will be flush with the floor when installed.
More detailed instructions on skirt installation are provided with
the optional skirt assembly.

In some cases, access may not have been provided because of
the design of the bath environment and having full understanding that
in this case, it may be necessary to remove the unit for service.
If this is the case, diagnosing a problem may not be possible with-
out complete access to the plumbing system. This would necessitate
the removal of the unit. Although this practice is not commonly imple-
mented, it is an acceptable method.

In some cases access may have been provided in Area A but
service is required in Area B which requires the unit to be pulled for
service and reinstalled.
If service access has not been provided, it is the home owners
responsibility to remove the bath and provide the required ac-
cess, should a repair become necessary.
