CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the piping or
pump for structural support of the whirlpool.
- With help, carefully lift the module into position.
- Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support blocks.
- Plumb and level the module along the nailing in flanges, and use shims to level the module rim.
- Drill small pilot holes 8" (20.3cm) apart through the vertical nailing in flanges along the front of the module. Then
drill small pilot holes through the horizontal nailing in flange at each side and back stud. Add shims between the
nailing in flange and the studs as needed to eliminate gaps.
- Nail 1/4" (6mm) thick furring strips to the studs to shim out to the edge of the nailing in flange.
- For metal stud construction, drill the fastener holes through the nailing in flange and the metal studs, and secure
with sheet metal screws.
- Use #6 large head galvanized nails to secure the nailing in flange to the studs.
