A Technical Specifications Manual has been included with your bathtub. The Technical Specifications Manual will contain pertinent
information regarding your Jacuzzi Luxury Bath product. Locate the Technical Specifications Manual at this time.
NOTES
Finished alcove must have correct interior dimensions, as shown in the key dimension section in the Technical Specifications
Manual, to properly install unit. For three wall alcove installations, use an integral molded three-sided tiling flange bathtub. Jacuzzi
Luxury Bath does not recommend utilizing bathtubs without an integral tiling flange in an alcove installation where a shower head
would be installed above the unit and utilized as a shower.
• In remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a vertical nailing surface for the side nailing flanges of
bath fixture product.
• To avoid obstructions during installation make sure that supply lines, spout pipe and valve plumbing do not project
into alcove.
• Bathtubs require a 6" x 12" (150mm x 305mm) floor opening for the 1 ½" (38mm) drain, waste and overflow (DWO)
kit.
• Be sure floor opening location matches bathtub fixture drain location.
• Use of casting plaster/plaster of paris (foundation material) is recommended in all commercial structures (i.e. hotels, motels,
dormitories, health clubs, etc.).
• The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bathtub and not solely from the bathtub rim.
• Per UPC code, access must be provided to the pump/motor for
your specific model (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.
Primary and secondary service access locations are shown in
the rough-in diagrams contained in the Technical Specifications
Manual.
• Provide adequate ventilation for cooling and supply sufficient
air for the pump/motor. Do not insulate around the equipment.
