1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Unless otherwise specified, floor support under the whirlpool must provide for a minimum of 80
lbs./square foot (390 Kg./square meter) loading.
NOTICE: Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.
- Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subfloor is flat and level.
- The whirlpool should be installed in a drop in, corner, or alcove installation. Construct 2x4 stud framing designed
for your particular installation. Frame the floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with
the roughing in information packed with the whirlpool.
- Use the roughing in cut out information to carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material.
- Position the plumbing according to the roughing in information packed. Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.

2. Prepare the Whirlpool

- K 870 and K 872 models: If you are installing the optional Seawall Faucet, assemble the faucet to the whirlpool
according to the instructions packed with the faucet. Do not make your final water supply connections at this
time.
- We recommend a tiling in bead for straight rimmed whirlpools if one or more sides of the whirlpool contact a
wall. This bead prevents water from seeping between the whirlpool rim and the wall. Follow the instructions
packed with the tiling in bead to install the bead now.
- Install the drain to the whirlpool according to the drain manufacturer's instructions. Do not connect the trap at
this time.
- Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the whirlpool. Be careful not to scratch the surface
of the product.
