1. Prepare the Site
NOTICE: Refer to the Roughing-in Guide packed with your bath whirlpool for the required minimum
lb/square foot (kg/square meter) floor support.
NOTICE: Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
The whirlpool should be installed in a drop-in installation. Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing
designed for your particular installation. Provide for a 1/16" (2 mm) gap between the bottom of the
whirlpool rim and the stud framing. Frame the floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in
accordance with the roughing-in information packed with the whirlpool.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
2. Prepare the Whirlpool
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.
