Position the Whirlpool (cont.)
NOTE: Do not use plaster, gypsum cement, or drywall compound for this application, as they will not
provide adequate structural support.
NOTE: The whirlpool supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) layer of mortar cement on the subfloor, spreading it so that each area of the
whirlpool that will contact the subfloor has mortar cement. Do not spread the mortar cement
around the drain area. Allow room for the mortar cement to expand from the weight of the
whirlpool.
Immediately move the whirlpool into position.
Verify that the whirlpool is level and resting on all supports.
Clean the whirlpool to reduce the risk of damaging the surface.
Place a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom and over the outside edge of the
whirlpool. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the unit.
