THANK YOU...
for selecting an American Standard bath. Your new
bath is shipped to you after careful inspection. The
whirlpool version is completely assembled with pump,
motor, and system piping. All you need to finish the
installation are your selected fittings and electrical
connections for a whirlpool.
To insure maximum performance and pleasure from
this product, please follow the instructions and
cautions.
GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your vendor
immediately.
After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. After installation, and before
enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., water test the unit and check for leaks.
Do not make modifications to the whirlpool system or remove pump from factory mounting. This could adversely affect
the safety and performance of the whirlpool and void the warranty. Do not handle or move the whirlpool by the pump,
motor, or piping system.
Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and
enclosing materials are provided by others. Check for availability of optional American Standard wall tiling bead
(required for recess installations).
Protect all finished surfaces of the whirlpool during construction and installation using a drop cloth.
WARNING! Do not lift whirlpool by the piping harness at any time.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
The variety of installations possible for this whirlpool may require framing procedures other than those shown. Locate studs
as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb and square. Provisions must be made in all installations for an
access opening for servicing the pump and controls. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for
access to the drain components.
NOTE: The apron should not be used as the primary access opening.
1. Position the whirlpool into the installation opening and level the deck, shimming the integral support feet as necessary.
Mark the final position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line on to the studs (see Figure 1).
2. Remove the whirlpool and attach a 2 x 4 stringer to the studs, with the top of the stringer touching the traced line.
3. Install drain components to the whirlpool following the manufacturers instructions. Before replacing your whirlpool for final
installation, be certain that an opening has been provided in the sub-floor for the drain. See the roughing-in drawing for
suggested opening size and location dimensions.
4. Replace whirlpool and re-shim the integral support feet, shimming the entire length of the support feet. Secure the shims
using construction adhesive, silicone, mortar or equivalent materials. While not a necessity, the use of a foundation base
consisting of cement (e.g. Sakrete), mortar, or grout will help provide a solid and secure installation.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All wiring must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the national electrical code and all other
applicable codes.
WARNING:
When using electrical products, basic precautions should always be observed, including the following:
1. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Connect only to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter.
2. Grounding is required. The unit should be installed by a licensed electrician and grounded.
3. Install to permit access for servicing.
4. All building materials and wiring should be routed away from the pump body and heater (if equipped).
1.6 HORSEPOWER MODELS:
The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the
electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded
neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential. ADDING THE SAFE-T-HEATER REQUIRES A SEPARATE
15 AMP MAXIMUM GFCI CIRCUIT.
2.1 HORSEPOWER MODELS:
The whirlpool should be installed on a 120 vac, 20 amp dedicated circuit. The circuit should be hard-wired from the
electrical power supply panel. The circuit must be a three (3) wire circuit from the electrical supply panel. A grounded
neutral wire and a third wire, earth ground, are essential. ADDING THE SAFE-T-HEATER REQUIRES A SEPARATE
15 AMP MAXIMUM GFCI CIRCUIT.

DRAIN CONNECTION AND SYSTEM TEST
Using recommended drain opening, connect whirlpool drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely. Check the
pump couplings and make sure they are hand-tight. Clean the whirlpool and fill with water to a point 2" above the top of
the highest jet. Recheck the pump couplings and make certain that they are not leaking. (Although the pump couplings
are factory tightened and inspected, some loosening may have occurred during transit.) Make sure the whirlpool is
connected to the electrical supply and turn the whirlpool on. Check for leaks around all piping connections while the
whirlpool is running.
POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris from bath. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor.
Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or
stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span®mixed with water.
Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ACRYLIC SURFACES.
Abrasive cleaners must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing
with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.
