Plumbing All plumbing work should be done by a licensed professional contractor. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any part of the installation and is not responsible for any incidental damages due to improper installation. It is the installers’ responsibility to ensure that the installation conforms to all applicable state and local codes. Before any plumbing work is started, check the current home water pressure at the tub location. The manufacturer’s recommended range is between 50-70 psi. The supply hoses provided are rated for use Ëĺ»ÈʸʷʷÆÉ¿ƔÂÉÅƑ÷Á»ÉËȻʾ»¹ÅºÉËÆÆÂÏÆÈ»ÉÉËÈ»·Äº¾ÅÊÉËÆÆÂÏÆÈ»ÉÉËÈ»·È»ÄÅʺȷÉÊ¿¹·ÂÂϺ¿Ů»È»ÄÊƔ Check current water heater capacity – Ratio of hot to cold water should be roughly 2/3 hot to 1/3 cold – refer to tub capacities in Appendix B2 (page 24). Tub water capacities are estimated and will vary depending on the size of the user. Ensure that the water heater size is adequate to provide enough hot water for a warm bath. Ensure proper drain location and rough-in. See appropriate dimensional diagram for tub being installed in Appendix B2 (page 24). Note: Take into account a reverse drain situation which is illustrated in Appendix C (page 30).

This step is critical for ease of post-installation maintenance, especially in the instance of installation in an apartment or condominium. IMPORTANT... BEFORE HOOKING UP FAUCETS, FLUSH BOTH HOT AND COLD LINES TO CLEAR ANY AIR, SEDIMENT, DEBRIS AND SOLDER SO THAT THE FAUCET COMPONENTS DO NOT BECOME CLOGGED OR DAMAGED. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS © 2015 Bliss Walk-in Bathtubs. All Rights Reserved. 6 BLISS TUBS PRE-INSTALLATION Galvanized plumbing should be replaced when possible to prevent sediment from damaging the faucet valves. Although it may not be possible in every circumstance, consider running a 2” drain line back to the main drain. This may substantially reduce the drain time of the bathtub. 6. Hot Water Heater Considerations The customer’s hot water heater should be assessed during the walk-in tub planning process.

Electrical (if so equipped) All electrical work should be done by a licensed professional contractor. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any part of the installation and is not responsible for any incidental damages due to improper installation. Check electrical requirements for tub systems (see Appendix D [page 32]). Run appropriate number of dedicated 15 or 20 amp, 110V (not 220V) electrical lines – rating matches load requirement of the tub being installed. Install easily-accessible GFCI outlets (required). WARNING... ENSURE THAT ELECTRICAL PREPARATION IS DONE IN CONFORMANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL CODES. 8. Ventilation 7 Ensure the bathroom has proper ventilation through ductwork or available window(s) in conformance to state and local codes. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS © 2015 Bliss Walk-in Bathtubs. All Rights Reserved. BLISS TUBS INSTALLATION 9. Additional Service Access Bliss Tubs has gone to great lengths to ensure ease in maintenance and repair work through strategic placement of all plumbing and electrical systems. However, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure tub-integrated access Æ·Ä»Âɹ·Ä¸»»·É¿ÂÏÈ»ÃÅÌ»º·Äº·È»ÄÅÊ¿ÃÆ»º»º¸ÏÅʾ»È¸·Ê¾ÈÅÅÃŰÎÊËÈ»É;»Äʾ»Ê˸¿É¿ÄÆ·¹»Ɣ¼ÉÆ·¹» restrictions are a factor, it is also the installer’s responsibility to provide adequate access to electrical and plumbing components for any future service-related needs. IMPORTANT... ADD AN EXTRA WALL ACCESS PANEL AS NEEDED. THIS IS OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE WHEN INSTALLING ONE OF BLISS TUBS’ MORE COMPACT UNITS WHICH ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED FRONT-ACCESSIBLE ACCESS PANELS (I.E. B3237 OR B306022). After pre-installation procedures are complete, bring the tub inside the home. Be sure to measure the tub diagonal dimension prior to moving the tub into the home so you don’t hit walls when maneuvering in the home. Be extremely cautious when maneuvering the bath tub. Units can weigh upwards of 300 lbs. so ensure you have adequate space and assistance. Never lift the bathtub by any portion on the integral plumbing or electrical systems. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any damage to the tub or its plumbing or electrical system due to improper handling or care. IMPORTANT... IT IS EASIER TO INSTALL THE FAUCETS, INSTALL THE BATH DRAIN AND OVERFLOW KIT AND PRE-FIT THE EXTENSION KIT ON THE TUB BEFORE MOVING THE TUB INTO ITS FINAL INSTALLATION LOCATION. WALK-IN BATHTUB PREPARATION 1. Faucets Faucets are thoroughly inspected for appearance and function by our factory-trained technicians. For best results, install the faucet set on the deck in the order it appears on the following page. The holes are pre-drilled and the lengths of hoses supplied accommodate this line up. The arrangement shown also allows maintenance ·¹¹»ÉÉÊÅʾ»ÃÅÉʹÅÃÃÅÄÂÏËÉ»ºŰÊʿĽÉÅÄʾ»Ê˸Ưʾ»Ã»¹¾·Ä¿¹·ÂÌ·Â̻ɷĺº¿Ì»ÈÊ»ÈƔ·Ì¿Ä½·¹¹»ÉÉÊÅ these components is very important as they are the most prone to abuse and/or misuse more so than other tub components. Hook up all the lines once the faucet set is in place on the deck leaving only the hot and cold supply lines to be connected after the tub is installed. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply lines as this will restrict the Í·Ê»ÈŲÅͷĺ¿Ä¹È»·É»ŰÂÂʿûƔ»ÉËÈ»ÊÅŲËɾʾ»ÉËÆÆÂÏ¿Ļɸ»¼ÅȻ÷Á¿Ä½Ê¾»Űķ¹ÅÄÄ»¹Ê¿ÅÄÉƔÂʾÅ˽¾ ʾ»ÉËÆÆÂϾÅɻɾ·Ì»¿ÄÊ»½È·Ê»ºÍ·É¾»ÈÉƑ¿Ê¿ÉÉÊ¿ÂÂÈ»¹ÅÃûĺ»ºÊ¾·ÊÊ»ŲÅÄÊ·Æ»ÅÈʾȻ·ºÉ»·Â·Äʸ»ËÉ»ºÅÄ Ê¾»Ê¾È»·ºÉÊÅ»ÄÉËÈ»·¹ÅÃÆ»ʻɻ·ÂƔ»¹·È»¼ËÂÄÅÊÊÅɹȷʹ¾Æ·ʻºŰĿɾ»ÉºËȿĽ¿ÄÉʷ·ʿÅÄƔ CAUTION...

DO NOT ATTACH THE PANEL YET, JUST GET EVERYTHING PRE-FIT. Bracing the extension panels: Attach a support to the wall for the wall edge of the extension panel. You may use any appropriate material to properly brace the extension panel as long as it complies with local, state, and any federal codes. The most commonly used bracing material is a section of 2x4 lumber nailed or screwed to the wall studs. Make sure the material is level and stable. Steel hanger brackets (not provided) similar to the one shown here can also be used and are available for purchase at most local retail hardware supply stores.

Hardwiring of any kind or tampering with the integrated electrical systems will void the warranty. Plug in each of the electrical systems to a dedicated GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) three-prong outlet. All systems require 110 V, 60 HZ cycle and vary in their amperage draw. Air Blower – 9.5 amps Chromatherapy – .055 amps Hydro Pump – 9.4 amps Aromatherapy – .05 amps Tee-heater – 12.5 amps Ozone system – .05 amps WARNING... BE SURE NOT TO OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT BY PLUGGING IN TOO MUCH AMPERAGE DEMAND WHICH COULD RESULT IN TRIPPED GFCI OUTLETS, TRIPPED BREAKERS, OR FIRE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A 12 GAUGE WIRE IS RUN TO A 20 AMP BREAKER FOR THE 2 GANG GFCI OUTLET AND BOTH THE TEE-HEATER AND THE HYDRO PUMP ARE PLUGGED INTO THAT OUTLET, YOU WOULD BE DRAWING 21.9 AMPS (HEATER 12.5 AMPS + PUMP 9.4 AMPS = 21.9 AMPS) ON A 20 AMP CIRCUIT. IN THIS CASE, YOU WOULD NEED TO RUN A SECOND CIRCUIT. MAKE SURE ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND CONNECTIONS (IF APPLICABLE) ARE SET UP TO LOCAL CODES.

Test Now that the tub is in place and everything is hooked up, run the tub and test all the features before installing the surround and extension kit. 1. Clean the door seal and jamb of any dust or debris by wiping with a soft cloth and shut the door. 2. ¾»¹Áʾ»¼ËĹʿÅķĺŲÅͼÈÅÃʾ»¾Åʷĺ¹Åº̷ÂÌ»É÷Á¿Ä½ÉËȻʾ»ÏÊËÈļȻ»ÂÏͿʾÅËÊÈ˸¸¿Ä½ÅÄʾ» tub deck or the bell housing.

Look underneath the tub deck and make sure there are no leaks from any of the plumbing. 5. Test the function and feel of the drain hand control. If it is tough to turn or sounds like its grinding it may need to be adjusted. 6. Make sure the stopper holds water when in the down position and pops up as high as possible to allow for the fastest drain time. The screw height in the bottom of the stopper needs to be adjusted for each tub and the locking nut MUST be tightened after correct height is determined. WARNING... FAILURE TO LOCK THE NUT ON THE DRAIN STOPPER COULD RESULT IN DRAIN FAILURE AND ENTRAPMENT OF TUB USER. IF STOPPER DOES NOT RESPOND TO HAND DIAL, THE STOPPER CAN BE LIFTED OUT BY HAND AT ANY TIME. 7.

See Appendix D (page 32) for details on the operation of each system. 10. Drain the tub and make sure the stopper stays up until the tub is completely drained. Continue to check for leaks as you drain the tub. Pay special attention to the waste plumbing connections as the tub is draining. 11. If the tub is equipped with an air system, there will be a blinking light on the control head after the water drains signifying the 20 minute timer is activated. In 20 minutes the air system will turn itself on for one minute ÊÅÆËȽ»Ê¾»Â¿Ä»Éż·ÄÏÃÅ¿ÉÊËÈ»·ÄºÍ¿ÂÂÊËÈÄ¿Êɻ¼ÅŮ·Êʾ»»ÄºÅ¼ÅĻÿÄËÊ»Ɣ FINISHING WORK 1.

It is recommended that a piece of base molding be installed across the front bottom edge of the tub to hide the gap and to seal out any moisture from getting under the tub. We recommend PVC molding because it is waterproof and resistant to rot and mold. An example of this is shown on the next page. It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure all seams are water tight. 4. Final Seal Seal all the seams with a silicone caulking. This includes the joint between the extension panel and the tub, between the extension panel and the wall, and around any PVC molding that may be installed.

Fill the tub and show them how to use the control head(s) (if so equipped). Let them know that as a safety precaution the drain stopper is designed to be lifted out by hand at any time so that they will never be stuck inside a full tub. If equipped, explain the purge cycle of the air system and how the ozone system works and when it comes on. Explain the proper care and maintenance of the tub explained in detail in Appendix E (page 36). The best time to familiarize your customer with their new tub is immediately after installation and in person.

This is not only dangerous but may cause the door to not seal properly. If the tub to be installed has an outward-swinging door, the door should be left unlatched but engaged in the door frame catch when not in use to preserve the life of the door seal. Wipe the door seal and jamb clean of dirt or debris to ensure a proper seal. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle cleaning compound or solution to remove residual buildup around or in door drain. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. 2.

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle cleaning compound or solution to remove residual buildup around or in door drain. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. The door drain cap conveniently unscrews for easy access. 5. Hydro System (if so equipped) The pump and lines of the hydro system are designed to fully drain and require minimal user maintenance. It is recommended to run the hydro system at least once a month even if not used for bathing. This is to prevent dirt, mold and mildew from accumulating in the system. Once a month, purge and clean the entire system using liquid automatic dish detergent, which will remove body and bath oils, soap residue and other sources that can contribute to bacterial growth in the hydro massage system. Fill the tub with warm water covering the jets. Adding approximately 2 ounces of liquid dishwater detergent (not hand soap) turn on the hydro massage system for 15 minutes, then drain the tub.
