Electrical Connections (Soakers with Chromatherapy Only). Jacuzzi SOAKER BATH SERIES

Soaker™ Bath Series

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.

Electrical Connections (Soakers with Chromatherapy Only)

Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit protected by a GFCI.

When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be followed:

•

Always follow local building and electrical codes.

For soakers with chromatherapy, grounding is

required. The unit should be installed and

grounded by a qualified electrician.

Reset

A 120V, 15A, GFCI protected circuit is required. Install a duplex outlet to the wall stud underneath the bathtub, at least 4˝ (101mm) above the floor. The duplex outlet is not supplied.

Chromatherapy Light Installation

Your bathtub comes with two lights, cables, and control box (pre-installed). The control panel requires installation in a location selected by the installer.

1 Plan the location of the control panel. A possible configuration is shown at right (Figure 2).

The panel cannot be immersed in the bathtub water. Select a location at least 1˝ above the level of the overflow drain.

The control panel must be installed on a flat surface at least 3˝ wide x 2˝ tall. You may mount on any flat surface on the bathtub shell, bathtub surround or on the adjacent wall.

The control cable has a length of 10’. If you plan to remote-mount the control panel (not on the bathtub deck), the control panel cannot be located more than 10’ from the control box.

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.
