Framing

Please refer to the Technical Specifications section of this manual for all pertinent product dimensions.
Frame out the space where the bathtub is to be located. The
following should be taken into consideration when preparing
the area:
•
Dimensions provided on rough-in diagrams are
nominal. Measure your actual unit upon receipt and
build according to the actual dimensions.
•
The floor structure beneath the bathtub must be able
to support the total weight of the bathtub, water and
bather.
•
The unit must be supported from the bottom of the
bathtub and not from the bathtub rim or the tile flange.
•
Per code, access must be provided to service
equipment. It is the installer's responsibility to provide
sufficient service access. The recommended minimum
18˝ (457mm) allowable for service to the bathtub are
shown in the Service Access illustration (Figure 1).
It is the responsibility of the installer, building
contractor, or owner to provide access for service.
Jacuzzi is not responsible for any costs relating to
obtaining access for repair. The owner shall bear such
costs and, if appropriate, must seek recovery from the
installer.
•
Provide adequate ventilation for cooling and supply
sufficient air for the blower and motor/pump. Do not
insulate around the equipment.
Subfloor
Prepare the subfloor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.
The drain/overflow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical
1
Specifications Manual that corresponds with your bathtub.
Make appropriate cuts to the subfloor to accommodate the drain.
2
The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bath and not from the bath rim or tile flange.
3
The floor structure beneath the bathtub must be able to support the total weight of the bathtub, bather and water.
For the total weight of the unit, please refer to the Technical Specifications Manual that came with your product.
If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the
bath.
If the subfloor is not level, you must make sure that the leveling legs are making contact with the subfloor and
that the unit is perfectly level. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.
