Before You Begin

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the piping or
pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
We recommend this whirlpool for alcove installation.
-
Inspect the whirlpool for damage before you begin installation.
-
You must install this whirlpool to an adequately supported, level subfloor.
-
Provide sufficient clearance to move the module into the construction area.
-
Avoid flexing the side walls to prevent damage to the module.
-
Insulate all exterior walls before installation.
-
When fire rated wall is specified, the stud opening dimensions are to the inside of the wallboard.
-
If the module will be installed adjacent to vertical ducts or chases, surround the unit with fire rated gypsum
-
wallboard.
The basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with respect to the stud
-
framing. Consider using shims for additional support if the subfloor is uneven.
Refer to the instructions included with accessories and shower doors before beginning this installation.
-
Provide access to all plumbing connections. This is a one piece module, and you cannot make the drain and
-
overflow connections by reaching over the end of the module.
To enhance the finished appearance of tile wall module designs, pay special attention to placement of the exposed
-
plumbing fittings. Position the valving and shower fittings where they will complement the tile wall appearance
of the module.
