Before You Begin
NOTICE: It is not necessary that the blower motor be relocated. The option is provided for the case that a
particular installation makes this effort practical.
NOTE: Refer to the Installation Guide packed with the bath for preliminary steps and considerations for
installation of the bath.
The blower motor must be located within 15’ (4.6 m) of the bath, with no more than six direction
changes in piping.
The blower motor must be oriented horizontally, and installed to a support block no lower than the
original mounted height relative to the bath.
When mounting the blower motor in a remote location, choose a space as close to the bath as
possible to maximize bath performance.
The blower motor must have adequate ventilation for cooling and airflow. Do not install the blower
motor closer than 1” (25 mm) from the wall or other objects. Provide a free space of about 30 cubic
feet (0.8 cubic meters) for cooling.
Use 1-1/2″ PVC or equivalent piping.
The piping installation must meet the requirements of local plumbing or building codes. Ensure that
the installation does not reduce the fire rating of any walls.
Piping must be supported at intervals along the length in accordance with local codes.
Ensure that the blower motor location is clean and free of dust or debris.
If appropriate, install an additional access panel for blower motor maintenance.
In accordance with local codes, the keypad cable must be supported by cable ties or support clips at
intervals along the length of the bath. The cable must not rest on wet surfaces or floors that are
subject to flooding.
All material needed for the relocation must be supplied by the installer.
