1. Construct the Framing
Install the Framing
IMPORTANT! Dimensions given in the roughing-in information are critical for proper installation. Refer to
the "Roughing-In" section for dimensions.
IMPORTANT! For installations with wall surrounds, provide support for the vertical wall flanges at
37-1/4" (946 mm) or 42-1/4" (1073 mm), depending upon the specific model.
IMPORTANT! The framing for each stud should be plumb and square to within 1/8" (3 mm). Shimming
may be required.
Carefully measure the whirlpool.
Construct 2x4 framing using the dimensions specified in the "Roughing-In" section.
If possible, remove the bottom plate.
Construct an access panel to allow access for servicing the faucets and drain.
IMPORTANT! For installations with wall surrounds, do not allow fiber or other soft insulation to drop
down into the back channel, as this could damage the whirlpool.
For installations with wall surrounds, cover or seal any loose material.
NOTE: If the apron flanges will not be used or have been accidentally broken off during shipping, install
three evenly distributed 2x4 blocks behind the apron location. The blocks will prevent the apron from
being damaged and may be used to secure the apron behind a baseboard.
Construct the Floor
IMPORTANT! Construct the floor of plywood. If the whirlpool is installed over material other than
plywood, friction may cause squeaking over time.
If the subfloor is constructed of a material other than plywood, position the supplied felt pad so all
supports will rest on it.
Verify that the apron flanges can be secured to studs, or install three 2x4 blocks behind the apron
location.
NOTE: The "Roughing-In" section indicates the location of the drain.
Cut a hole in the floor large enough to fit the drain assembly selected for your installation.
