STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE
• Strip to bare studs if not using a Lyons one-piece wall.
• If installing a Lyons one-piece wall, then bathtub and one-piece wall must be installed onto drywall.
• Bathtub stud pocket should be constructed as shown.
• Do not install bathtub on open oor joists. Suboor must be clean, smooth and level (Fig 1). Sub-oor must be installed
in the stud layout.
• Cut hole in sub oor to accommodate drain.
• The Access panel is located on the bathtub apron to service pump/motor and heater assembly after installation.
Failure to provide access to these areas may result in added removal and re-installation costs in the event service may
be required.
STEP 2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
• Install the 110 volt, 20 amp GFCI outlet(s) as shown on previous page in alcove to the stud wall underneath the
bathtub at least 4" above the sub oor. (Fig. 2) One is for the pump/motor and the other is for the inline heater (not
included).
• Both GFCI receptacles in alcove must have a separate 110 volt, 20 amp service from the breaker panel. Do not com-
bine any other electric service with bathtub supply line.
• Service supply line must be connected to a Ground Fault Interrupter at the breaker panel for added protection and to
meet code requirement. Install breaker only after all other electrical connections have been made.
• Your bathtub wiring should be installed by a licensed electrician. All electrical preparations and connections must be
made in strict compliance with local and national electrical codes.
WARNING: If bathtub is not properly wired, there is danger of electrical shock or re.
STEP 3. LEAK TEST WHIRLPOOL
• BATHTUB MUST BE TESTED FOR LEAKS BEFORE FINAL INSTALLATION. ALTHOUGH YOUR UNIT HAS BEEN FACTORY
TESTED, DAMAGE MAY OCCUR DURING SHIPPING OR HANDLING.
• Connect drain piping to drain, waste and overow. Remove front access panel. (Fig. 3)
For best results, if possible, leak test in an area that all jets, ttings and plugs are visible.
• Plug motor and inline heater into GFCI receptacle box. If motor starts, turn it o by depressing the on/o button in the
bathtub.
• Fill bathtub with water, make sure water is at least 1" above intake and jet covers. Run for ten minutes. Inspect all jets,
ttings, plugs and connections for possible leaks. The inline heater is pressure sensitive, it will come on automatically
with ow of water, make sure that the heater light is on.
• Drain bathtub. If any leaks are found, call Lyons Industries Inc. Customer Service Department at 1-800-458-9036.
