CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Make sure that a watertight seal exists around the drain and
overflow.
Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the faucet trim, whirlpool spout, shower door, and any accessories according to each
manufacturer’s instructions.
Remove the protective covering from the whirlpool.
Open the water supply lines, then run the water to flush out any debris.
Close the valves.
Install the showerhead according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check all connections for leaks.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. If holes have been or must be drilled to properly install your
accessory, we recommend applying 100% silicone sealant into the drilled holes before securing the
accessory to the wall surround to avoid possible water damage. Follow the accessory
manufacturer’s instructions. Improperly installed accessories could cause leaks and may void the
warranty.
If applicable, apply 100% silicone sealant into the previously drilled holes in the wall surround.
Refer to the accessory manufacturer’s instructions to properly secure the accessory to the wall
surround.
If applicable, install all other accessories according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If a shower door will be installed, apply 100% silicone sealant in the gap where the front edges of
the end walls meet the whirlpool surface. This will prevent water from passing through the shower
door extrusion to the back side of the wall. Refer to the shower door manufacturer’s instructions to
complete the shower door installation. Only apply silicone sealant where instructed to do so.
If a shower curtain will be used, ensure the rod is installed above the wall surrounds.
