2. Prepare the Site - Wood Construction

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your
whirlpool for specific floor loading requirements. Three access panels are required.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
The whirlpool should be installed as a corner, drop-in, or flush installation. Construct 2x4 stud
framing designed for your particular installation. Frame the floor, or construct a frame for a raised
installation in accordance with the roughing-in information packed with the whirlpool.
Use the roughing-in cut-out information to carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. For
flush-mount installation, allow for the thickness of the planned deck material.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.

3. Prepare the Whirlpool

We recommend a tiling-in bead for straight-rimmed whirlpools if one or more sides of the whirlpool
contact a wall. This bead prevents water from seeping between the whirlpool rim and the wall.
Follow the instructions packed with the tiling-in bead to install the bead now.
Install the drain to the whirlpool according to the drain manufacturer's instructions. Do not connect
the trap at this time.
Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the whirlpool. Be careful not to
scratch the surface of the whirlpool.
