Salon™ Spa Bath

Framing

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.

Frame out the space where the bathtub is to be located. The following should be taken into consideration when preparing the area:

•

Dimensions provided on rough-in diagrams are

nominal. Measure your actual unit upon receipt and

build according to the actual dimensions.

•

The floor structure beneath the bathtub must be able

bather.

•

The unit must be supported from the bottom of the

bathtub and not from the bathtub rim. For drop-in

installations, take into account the thickness of the

surround material and finishing material (marble, tile,

etc.).

•

Ensure the rim will rest on a level surface.

•

Per code, access must be provided to the blower

and motor/pump for your specific model. Primary

service access locations are shown in the rough-in

diagrams contained in the Technical Specifications

Manual. Figure 1 shows common access locations.

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.

•

Provide adequate ventilation for cooling and supply

sufficient air for the blower and motor/pump. Do not

insulate around the equipment.

•

Your bathtub may have blower/motor parts that extend

beyond the rim of the bathtub. Refer to the rough-in

diagrams included in the warranty pack and

construction framing to correctly accommodate.

Subfloor

Prepare the subfloor for the drain and ensure that the area is level.

1 The drain/overflow of the bathtub extends below the bottom of the bathtub. Identify the drawing in the Technical

Specifications Manual that corresponds with your bathtub.

2 Make appropriate cuts to the subfloor to accommodate the drain.

3 Jacuzzi’s Tru-Level™ base is a standard feature on all bathtubs. If the subfloor is level and a continuous surface, no other preparation is necessary. Proceed to the “Installation” section.

4 If the subfloor is not level, you must level the entire surface prior to installing the bathtub. The materials used will insure that the bathtub is supported from the bottom. These materials include: leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion structural foam (having a density of a minimum 5lbs/cubic foot). The bathtub must remain level in order for it to drain properly and must make contact with the leveling material. Both sides of a joint or splice of subfloor should be level to each other.

Faucet Installation

Selecting a faucet for rim mounting: The combined thickness at the rim of the bathtub shell and optional wood deck is 2˝ (50mm) nominal. The length of the faucet tailpiece(s) must be long enough to extend past this dimension and have ample clearance to assemble any hardware (i.e. locknut, water supply fittings, etc.) necessary for installation. For undermount units, the combined thickness of the bathtub shell is ½˝ (12mm) nominal and the undermount deck should not exceed the length of the faucet tailpiece(s), including any assembly hardware.
