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 lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the piping or pump for structural
support of the whirlpool. To avoid damage to the whirlpool, lift at the sides of the whirlpool.
NOTICE: Do not support the load weight of the whirlpool by the perimeter of the rim. The rim perimeter
must be adequately supported, but must not support the load weight of the whirlpool.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
For Whirlpools without Apron:
NOTICE: The whirlpool should be installed in a drop-in installation.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing for your installation.
NOTICE: When planning the construction of the site, take into consideration that the whirlpool must be
supported by its feet or base to avoid product damage. Do not support the load weight of the whirlpool
by the perimeter of the rim. The rim perimeter must be adequately supported, but must not support the
load weight of the whirlpool. This includes whirlpools placed in alcove installations.
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 cut-out information.
For Whirlpools with Integral or Optional Apron:
The whirlpool should be installed in an alcove or corner installation, depending upon the model
chosen. Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation. Construct a
frame in accordance with the roughing-in information packed with the whirlpool.
For All Installations:
