3-Wall Alcove Installation
Before you begin your installation, please read the following:
•
Observe all local building codes.
•
Determine which tools will be used during the installation.
•
Additional bathtub drain parts and plumbing are commercially available at plumbing and hardware stores.
•
Drain/Overflow rough-in information is included with your bathtub in the installation instruction manual.
Complete the bathtub surround installation to attach in a
3-wall niche.
Install the supplied drain/overflow according to the
1
manufacturer's instructions. Refer also to the Technical
Specifications Manual.
Watertight installation of the drain is the installer's
responsibility. Drain leakage is excluded from the
Jacuzzi Luxury Bath warranty of this product.
Install the faucet at this time. It is recommended that
2
the faucet be installed by a qualified plumber.
Proper installation of the spout plumbing and
compliance with local codes are the responsibility of
the installer. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath does not warrant
connections of water supply fittings and piping,
fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor is it
responsible for damage to the bathtub which may occur
during installation.
A non-flammable protective barrier must be placed
between the soldering work and the bathtub unit to
prevent damage to the bathtub.
Install the flange (sold separately). Attach the bathtub
3
and tile flange to the wall stud.
When attaching bathtubs with flanges to a stud wall, use shims to fill any gaps between the bathtub flange and
wall stud.
Provide adequate ventilation around the equipment to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling. Do not block blower
intake for any reason. Do not insulate the blower for any reason. Keep blower clear of all debris.
Inspect all fittings, plumbing, and control lines after inserting to insure the components are not damaged,
4
disconnected, or contacting the finish surface substrate or support members.
Connect flex water supply lines to faucet and plug power cords into GFCI outlet.
