Inspection and Testing
Visual Inspection
1. Remove the bathtub from the shipping carton. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the bathtub on exposed
staples. Remove the staples or fold them into the carton. Retain the carton until satisfactory inspection of the
product has been made. Do not lift the bathtub by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only.
2. Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the nish or visible
damage to any components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the nish claimed after the bathtub
is installed is excluded from the warranty. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath’s responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon
delivery of the products in good order to the carrier.
3. Refer any claims for damage to the carrier. For denitions of warranty coverage and limitations, refer to the
published warranty information packed with the product or in the back of this manual.
All bathtub units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. However, the
unit must be retested by the installer prior to installation. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath is not responsible for any defect that
could have been discovered, repaired, or avoided by following this inspection and testing procedure:
1. Place the bathtub on a level surface, near appropriate electrical supply, water supply, and water drainage. A
driveway is a suitable choice.
2. Seal the drain with tape or a stopper and ll the bathtub to 2˝ (50mm) above the highest air hole.
3. Allow bathtub to stand for 5 minutes.
4. If applicable, plug in the blower and turn the unit on. Conrm that all features function as described in the
Operation section of this manual. Do not install the bathtub if bathtub fails to operate as described.
5. Visually inspect all joints for leaks. Do not install the bathtub if leaks are detected.
6. Return bathtub to box or otherwise protect from damage until time of installation.

Framing And Support
READ ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY. Make sure that walls and oors meet re safety requirements of local building code and/or FHA/
HUD Minimum Property Standards.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
1. Proper installation is your responsibility. Have a qualied technician install this bath.
2. Installation using a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) is required.
3. It is the customer’s responsibility:
• To contact a qualied electrical installer.
• To ensure that electrical installation is adequate and conforms with National Electrical Code (NEC).
A Technical Specications Manual has been included with your bathtub. The Technical Specications Manual will contain pertinent
information regarding your Jacuzzi Luxury Bath product. Locate the Technical Specications Manual at this time.
Finished alcove must have correct interior dimensions, as shown in the key dimension section in the Technical Specications
Manual to properly install unit. For three wall alcove installations, use an integral molded three-sided tiling ange bathtub.
Jacuzzi Luxury Bath does not recommend utilizing bathtubs without an integral tiling ange in an alcove installation where a
shower head would be installed above the unit and utilized as a shower.
• In remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a vertical nailing surface for the side nailing anges of bath xture
product.
• To avoid obstructions during installation, make sure that supply lines, spout pipe and valve plumbing do not project into alcove.
• Bathtubs require a 6" x 12" (150mm x 305mm) oor opening for the 1 ½" (38mm) drain, waste and overow (DWO) kit.
• Be sure oor opening location matches bathtub xture drain location.
• Use of casting plaster/plaster of paris (foundation material) is recommended in all commercial structures (i.e. hotels, motels,
dormitories, health clubs, etc.).
• The unit must be supported from the bottom of the bathtub and not solely from the bathtub rim.
