NOTE: Locate and size the holes for the valves, shower control, spout, and/or shower in the walls
according to the manufacturer's requirements.
IMPORTANT! When applying the water-resistant wall material over the whirlpool flange, leave a 1/4" (6
mm) gap between the whirlpool rim edge and the wall material. This gap helps to reduce the possibility
of water seeping into the wall material.
Brush all dust and debris from the whirlpool flange.
Cover the framing with water-resistant wall material.
Seal the 1/4" (6 mm) gap between the whirlpool rim edge and the water-resistant wall material with
100% silicone sealant.
Install the finished wall over the water-resistant wall material.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Make sure a watertight seal exists around the whirlpool
drain and overflow, or the whirlpool may leak.
