Proper installation of the spout plumbing and compliance with local codes are the responsibility of the installer. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath does not warrant connections of water supply fittings and piping, fill systems, or drain/overflow systems. Nor is it responsible for damage to the bathtub which may occur during installation.

A non-flammable protective barrier must be placed between the soldering work and the bathtub unit to prevent damage to the bathtub.

Prepare the cut-out hole for the bathtub using either the provided full scale template or the cutout dimensions listed in the specifications table in the

Technical Specifications Manual.

The template may show guides for more than one bathtub, be certain to select the appropriate guide lines. If under mounting is an option, be careful to select the guide lines that apply to the installation that you are performing.
