1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Adequate floor support must be provided. Consult the roughing-in sheet packed with your
whirlpool for specific floor loading requirements.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is
flat and level.
Provide clear floor space according to the roughing-in information. You can provide this clear floor
space with either a front or side user access. If the user will have care giver assistance, we
recommend that you employ a front entrance.
Consider the path of a wheelchair user when building the floor space. Be sure there is sufficient
space to enter the room and maneuver the wheelchair to the module.
Consider the location of the bath and shower controls. ADA compliant control area locations are
illustrated in the roughing-in document packed.
If possible, consider the user's physical limitations when determining bath and shower control
positioning and entrance into the module. To ensure ADA compliance, position the module exactly
as shown in the roughing-in document packed.
To install the unit adjacent to a vertical duct or chase, fire-rated gypsum drywall should surround
the unit.
When firewall is specified, it should be in place before the module is installed.
The whirlpool should be installed in an alcove installation. Construct a 2x4 frame in accordance
with the roughing-in information packed with the whirlpool. Make sure you allow for access to the
pump in the event the unit requires service. When constructing the framing, allow for the thickness
of sub and finished wall materials.
Construct the recess with a header that is square vertically and horizontally in accordance with the
roughing-in dimensions. Do not nail the header with 2x2 brace to the stud frame until after the
module is positioned in the recess. Install a 2x2 brace and toe plate around the recess opening.
If extra grab bars are specified, provide 2x6 bridging or attachment at the specified positions. Refer
to the grab bar manufacturer's instructions.
Provide a 5" (12.7 cm) diameter hole in the floor to permit drain connection clearance.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies, and check for
leaks.
