1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Refer to the Roughing-in Guide packed with your whirlpool for the required minimum
lb/square foot (kg/square meter) floor support loading.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
NOTICE: The whirlpool should be installed in a drop-in, flush, or tiled ledge installation.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation.
NOTICE: The whirlpool must be supported by its feet or base. Do not support the load weight of the
whirlpool by the perimeter of the rim.
For a raised installation: Frame the floor or construct a frame in accordance with the roughing-in
information packed with the whirlpool.
Carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. Use the cut-out template, if one is provided, or
refer to the Roughing-In Guide for cutout information.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
