Printed in the U.S.A.
With a large screwdriver and the tool included with
the drain, tighten the inside compression nut to seal the
drain pipe connection. After drain is fully installed, test
for proper drainage. If the shower base does not drain
properly, rectify this condition before proceeding with the
installation. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not responsible
for removal and/or reinstallation costs.
To install shower doors, it is necessary to make the
tile walls ush with the vertical wall of the unit. This can
be accomplished by two recommended methods. In
Method #1, furring strips ( a 1x4 may be sufcient) are
applied to the framing studs with the cement board and
tile as shown below. This is done for all three walls of
the shower enclosure. In Method #2, a mounting surface
is built out ush with the vertical wall of the unit and the
same width as the base threshold as shown below.
Water Supply
Consult local authorities for plumbing code require-
ments in your area.
IMPORTANT: Jacuzzi Whirlpool Shower base does
not warrant connections of water supply ttings and
piping or drain/overow systems. Nor is it respon-
sible for damage to the shower base which occurs
during any installation procedure.
Clean-Up After Installation
To avoid dulling and scratching the surface of the
shower base, never use abrasive cleaners. A mild liquid
detergent and warm water will clean soiled surfaces.
Remove spilled plaster with a wood or plastic edge.
Metal tools will scratch the surface. Spots left by plaster
or grout can be removed if lightly rubbed with detergent
on a damp cloth or sponge.
Paint, tar, or other difcult stains can be removed with
paint thinner, turpentine, or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing
alcohol).
Minor scratches which do not penetrate the color
nish can be removed by lightly sanding with 600-grit
wet/dry sandpaper. You can restore the glossy nish
to the acrylic surface of the shower base with a special
compound, Meguiar's #10 Mirror Glaze. If that is not
available, use automotive rubbing compound followed
by an application of automotive paste wax.
Major scratches and gouges which penetrate the
acrylic surface will require renishing. Ask your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Shower base dealer for special instructions.
