WARNING... When using this unit, basic precautions should be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
DANGER... Injury: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this unit
unless they are closely supervised at all times. Supervision is also recommended when
an elderly or handicapped individual uses a walk-in bathtub.
• Use this unit only for its intended use as described in this installation manual and the corresponding
operating manual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never drop or insert any object in any opening within the whirlpool system.
• Donotoperatethisunitwithouttheguardoverthesuctiontting.Theguardisasafetydevicethatreduces
the potential hazard of hair or body entrapment. Keep hair and body away from suction guard while the
water pump is running. Should the suction guard be covered by an object, the integrated air line will vacate
the suction and release the object.
• This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test
the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should then interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power
withoutthetestbuttonbeingpushedthereisagroundcurrentowing,indicatingthepossibilityofanelectric
shock. If this should occur, do not use this hydromassage bathtub. Disconnect the hydromassage bathtub
andhavetheproblemcorrectedbyaqualiedservicerepresentativebeforefurtheruse.

PRE-INSTALLATION
WATER TEST
All Bliss walk-in baths are water tested and operated in our factory prior to shipment. However, rough handling
may cause leaks which can be detected if water tested again prior to installation.
CAUTION... NEVER LIFT THE TUB BY ANY PORTION OF THE HYDRO MASSAGE SYSTEM,
AIR MASSAGE SYSTEM OR PLUMBING.
1. Placethetubonaatsurfaceinanareawhereitmaybedrainedaftertesting,useaplugortapetosealthe
drain,lltheunittotheoverow,thentestthetubforproperdooroperationandlookforleaksfromthedoor
or anywhere else on the tub body.
2. Using an extension cord, plug in the pump and the blower cord and run the system for 10 minutes, checking
forleakswhilethesystemisrunning.Afterthetubhasrunfor10minutesturnthesystemothenletstand
for10minutes.Inspecttubcompletely(aroundpump,allplumbingttingsanddoorforleaks.)Any defect
must be reported to your dealer prior to installation in order to have it covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT... IN EVENT OF FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PRE-INSTALLATION PROCEDURES,
MANUFACTURER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE REMOVAL OR RE-INSTALLATION OF
THE BATHTUB OR ANY COSTS INCURRED THEREIN. SUCH FAILURE COULD RESULT IN
TERMINATION OF THE WARRANTY.
SITE PREPARATION
Check to ensure that the installation will conform to all applicable state and local codes and secure all necessary
permits.Allelectricalandplumbingconnectionsshouldbemadebyaqualied,licensedcontractor.
1. Inspect Site for Existing Damage
It is very important to make a thorough inspection of the installation site before any work is started. Pre-existing
conditions should be discovered and addressed immediately. If the tub is installed over existing problems it
mayneedtoberemovedatalaterdatetoxtheproblemsandcanpotentiallybeagreatcosttothecontractor/
homeowner. If an existing problem is discovered, bring it to the home/building owner's attention immediately.
Problems to look for: •Mold and Mildew
• Bad piping/leaks
• Water damage and rot
IMPORTANT...IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA TO DOCUMENT WITH PHOTOS.
2. Site Protection
Minimize dust, damage, and noise in the installation location through proper preparation. Plan the pathway to
beusedtobringthetubtoitsnallocation.Measuretomakesuretheunitwilltthroughdoorways,hallways,
around corners and stairwells. Protect the walls and doorways where there is a possibility of damage. See
appropriate dimensional diagram for tub being installed in Appendix B2 (page 24). The dimensional diagram
mayeectthemaneuverabilityofthetubwithinthehome,especiallyinthebathroomitself.Doorways may need
tobewidenedinsomeolderhomesdependingonthetubmodeltobeinstalled.Commondoormodications
include door stop or door jamb removal and replacement, door framing removal and replacement, or complete
door widening (recommended). Floors should be covered and dust curtains installed to contain dust and debris
in the work area. Doing so will protect the rest of the house and will save time on clean up.
• Termite damage
• Poor structure
• Galvanized Plumbing

PRE-INSTALLATION
3. Demolition
Once the site is inspected and protected it is now time to do any necessary demolition. The amount of work
required will vary according to each job and location. Typical demolition may include tub removal, shower
removal,tileandooringremoval,wideningofdoorways,cuttingoutaccesspanellocations,movingtoilets,and
removingvanities.Planacostandlabor-ecientwastedisposalstrategyaheadoftimetominimizeunsightly
and unsafe debris piles inside or outside the home.
4. Structural
Beforeinstallinganywalk-inbathtubmakesuretheoorinthedesirednewtublocationisadequatetobearthe
load of the tub, water, and user. Bliss Tubs vary in weight between 150-300 pounds depending on the model.
Their operating capacities range from 38 to 100 gallons depending on the model and size of the user. An average
expectedtotalweightduringnormaloperationisroughly750lbs.Reinforcethesuboorasnecessaryandrequired
bycode.Makesuretolevelthesurfaceofthesuboor.Althougheachtubisequippedwithlevelingfeet,leveling
theoorrstwillsavetimeandeortinadjustingthefeetonthetubwhilealsoaddingtotheoverallstabilityofthe
installation.
IMPORTANT... A LEVEL INSTALLATION HAS A HUGE EFFECT ON PREVENTING THE TUB
DOOR FROM LEAKING OVER TIME DUE TO SETTLING OR SHIFTING OF THE TUB BODY,
FRAME, AND/OR HOME.
5. Plumbing
All plumbing work should be done by a licensed professional contractor. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any part
of the installation and is not responsible for any incidental damages due to improper installation.
• It is the installers’ responsibility to ensure that the installation conforms to all applicable state and local codes.
• Before any plumbing work is started, check the current home water pressure at the tub location. The
manufacturer’s recommended range is between 50-70 psi. The supply hoses provided are rated for use
under100psi.Also,makesurethecoldsupplypressureandhotsupplypressurearenotdrasticallydierent.
• Check current water heater capacity – Ratio of hot to cold water should be roughly 2/3 hot to 1/3 cold – refer
to tub capacities in Appendix B2 (page 24). Tub water capacities are estimated and will vary depending on
the size of the user. Ensure that the water heater size is adequate to provide enough hot water for a warm
bath.
• Ensure proper drain location and rough-in. See appropriate dimensional diagram for tub being installed in
Appendix B2 (page 24). Note: Take into account a reverse drain situation which is illustrated in Appendix C
(page 30).
• AP-Trapisrequiredinnearlyalllocalitiesforplumbingxturesincludingwalk-intubs.
• Rough-in hot/cold water supply lines. Keep in mind that Bliss Tubs come standard with faucets with ¾”
valves. Most residential plumbing is ½”. If feasible, it is recommended to run ¾” supply lines back to the
sourceasthismaydrasticallyreducethelltimeofthetub. Be sure the water supplies are run in keeping
with applicable codes.
• Besuretoincludepoint-of-usewatershut-ovalves(tobeprovidedbyinstaller).Theheightofthetubmay
impactthenecessaryinstallationheightoftheshut-ovalves.Theoutletoftheshutovalvesshouldbe
¾” NPS in order to receive the braided stainless steel supply lines (provided). This step is critical for ease
of post-installation maintenance, especially in the instance of installation in an apartment or condominium.
IMPORTANT... BEFORE HOOKING UP FAUCETS, FLUSH BOTH HOT AND COLD LINES TO
CLEAR ANY AIR, SEDIMENT, DEBRIS AND SOLDER SO THAT THE FAUCET COMPONENTS
DO NOT BECOME CLOGGED OR DAMAGED.

PRE-INSTALLATION
• Galvanized plumbing should be replaced when possible to prevent sediment from damaging the faucet
valves.
• Although it may not be possible in every circumstance, consider running a 2” drain line back to the main
drain. This may substantially reduce the drain time of the bathtub.
6. Hot Water Heater Considerations
The customer’s hot water heater should be assessed during the walk-in tub planning process. For a regular size
tubmodelsuchastheB3052andB3054models,mostBlissTubspurchasershavebeensatisedwiththehot
water delivery from their existing 40 gallon tanks. However, based on the input from several major hot water
heater manufacturers, a 50 gallon water heater is recommended in most circumstances.
Inadditiontothecurrentheater’scapacity,theheater’sageandlocationcanaecttheamountofhotwaterthat
can be delivered to the walk-in tub. As water heaters age, their performance declines. Location of the water
heater relative to the location of the walk-in tub can also have an impact. The further the hot water a run, the more
heatislost.Re-circulatingsystemshaveproveneectiveinnegatingthiscoolingeect.
Tank Heaters
For a regular size tub model such as the B3052 and B3054 models, the recommended minimum tank size for
electric or gas tank water heaters is 50 gallons. Normally one can assume a 70% hot water output from any tank
heater. (Tankheatermanufacturerscan providespecications andrecommendations.)A 70%outputshould
provide roughly 35 gallons of hot water from a 50 gallon tank with the thermostat set to the industry standard of
120°F.
As a construction industry rule of thumb, the water mixture for a comfortable bath is roughly two-thirds (2/3) hot
watertoone-third(1/3)coldwater.SincethetypicalwaterrequirementtollaregularsizeBlissTubmodelis
40to50gallonsdependingontheuser’ssize,roughly30to35gallonsofhotwaterwillbeneededtofullyllan
occupied tub. Refer to the Appendices B1 or B2 beginning on page 23 for the tub model operating capacities.
Note that the BTU rating (for gas heaters) and the wattage (for electric heaters) only have an eect on the
recovery rate of the hot water level for the heater, not the total possible hot water output.
Tankless Heaters
Tanklesswaterheatersrequirespecialconsiderationwithregardstowaterowrateandtemperaturerisefrom
the source. When opting for a tankless water heater, both ratings should be as high as possible. Flow rates
vary by heater manufacturer and model. Contact the tank heater manufacturer for exact specications and
recommendations. On average, the rise needs to be around 70°F. For example, this will take 50°F incoming cold
water and raise it to 120°F hot water output. These two factors should be chosen based on the homeowner’s
budget,currentelectricalsetup,anddesiredlltime.Asapointofreference,BlissTubsequipsitstubs with
faucetscapableof18gallonsperminuteowrate.
7. Electrical (if so equipped)
All electrical work should be done by a licensed professional contractor. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any part
of the installation and is not responsible for any incidental damages due to improper installation.
• Check electrical requirements for tub systems (see Appendix D [page 32]).
• Run appropriate number of dedicated 15 or 20 amp, 110V (not 220V) electrical lines – rating matches load
requirement of the tub being installed.
• Install easily-accessible GFCI outlets (required).
WARNING... ENSURE THAT ELECTRICAL PREPARATION IS DONE IN CONFORMANCE
WITH FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL CODES.
8. Ventilation
Ensure the bathroom has proper ventilation through ductwork or available window(s) in conformance to state and
local codes.

INSTALLATION
9. Additional Service Access
Bliss Tubs has gone to great lengths to ensure ease in maintenance and repair work through strategic placement
of all plumbing and electrical systems. However, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure tub-integrated access
panelscanbeeasilyremovedandarenotimpededbyotherbathroomxtureswhenthetubisinplace.Ifspace
restrictions are a factor, it is also the installer’s responsibility to provide adequate access to electrical and plumbing
components for any future service-related needs.
IMPORTANT... ADD AN EXTRA WALL ACCESS PANEL AS NEEDED. THIS IS OF PARTICULAR
IMPORTANCE WHEN INSTALLING ONE OF BLISS TUBS’ MORE COMPACT UNITS WHICH ARE NOT
EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED FRONT-ACCESSIBLE ACCESS PANELS (I.E. B3237 OR B306022).
After pre-installation procedures are complete, bring the tub inside the home. Be sure to measure the tub
diagonal dimension prior to moving the tub into the home so you don’t hit walls when maneuvering in the home.
Be extremely cautious when maneuvering the bath tub. Units can weigh upwards of 300 lbs. so ensure you
have adequate space and assistance. Never lift the bathtub by any portion on the integral plumbing or electrical
systems. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any damage to the tub or its plumbing or electrical system due to improper
handling or care.
IMPORTANT... IT IS EASIER TO INSTALL THE FAUCETS, INSTALL THE BATH DRAIN AND
OVERFLOW KIT AND PRE-FIT THE EXTENSION KIT ON THE TUB BEFORE MOVING THE
TUB INTO ITS FINAL INSTALLATION LOCATION.
WALK-IN BATHTUB PREPARATION
1. Faucets
Faucets are thoroughly inspected for appearance and function by our factory-trained technicians. For best
results, install the faucet set on the deck in the order it appears on the following page. The holes are pre-drilled
and the lengths of hoses supplied accommodate this line up. The arrangement shown also allows maintenance
accesstothemostcommonlyusedttingsonthetub–themechanicalvalvesanddiverter.Havingaccessto
these components is very important as they are the most prone to abuse and/or misuse more so than other tub
components. Hook up all the lines once the faucet set is in place on the deck leaving only the hot and cold supply
lines to be connected after the tub is installed. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply lines as this will restrict the
waterowandincreaselltime.Besuretoushthesupplylinesbeforemakingthenalconnections.Although
thesupplyhoseshaveintegratedwashers,itisstillrecommendedthatteontapeorthreadsealantbeusedon
thethreadstoensureacompleteseal.Becarefulnottoscratchplatednishesduringinstallation.
CAUTION... SEDIMENT, DEBRIS AND SOLDER FROM UNFLUSHED LINES WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE VALVES. ANY RESULTING DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY.
CAUTION... FAUCETSETCONTAINSVERYSMALLCOMPONENTS.BECAREFULTOCONTAIN

reverse drain kit installation see Appendix C [page 30]). The drain shoe is most easily installed when the bathtub
isstandingonitsend.Whentippingthetubonitsendmakesuretheberglasscornerofthetubiswellprotected.
Donotrotatethetubwhileitisstandingonitsendasthismaydamagetheberglasscornerandedge.Make
sure that any moving parts (i.e. the door and door handle) are secure to avoid any unnecessary jarring of the
components. Never lift the bathtub by any portion of the integrated plumbing or electrical systems.
• Install the drain shoe piece with the 1½” outlet facing towards the faucet side of the tub, as shown below.
Two ferrule bolts are provided, one 1” long and one 1¼” long. The bolt used will depend on the thickness of
theberglassdrainhole.Onlyoneisrequired.
• Applyabeadofsiliconeorplumber’sputtybetweenthedrainangeandthetubbody.
• Screwthesmallferruleboltthroughtheangeandintothedrainshoepiece.
• Make sure the rubber gasket has not bulged out on the side. If it
has, then loosen the ferrule bolt, adjust the gasket, and re-tighten.
Apply a second even coating of silicone around the drain shoe
connection on the underside of tub body to ensure a proper seal.
Smoothwithngertiptocloseanygapsinthewatertightseal.
• Installoverowportionofdrainkitasshowntotheright
and silicone around the back side to prevent leaks.
• Ensure the overow knob is well secured
into the groove of the actuator shaft. A loose
setscrewcaneectdrainoperation.
• Theedgesoftheoverowwallttingcanbe
ledasneededtoimproveknobfunction.
• Use 1½” PVC pipe to connect the overow
outlet to the sanitary tee, door drain tie-in,
and drain shoe as shown in the diagram
below. If feasible, it is recommended to use a
reducerandexiblePVCpipe(notprovided)
between the overow shoe and lower
connections. This step will make any future
maintenance of the faucet valves simpler.
• The ⅜" vinyl tubing coming from the door
drain is supplied with excess length and
needs to be cut to the appropriate length
oncethedrainshoeisaxedtothetub.Cut
the tubing so that there is a downward slope
inthe⅜"tubingfromthedoordrainttingto
the drain shoe. DONOTcutotheintegrated

3. Extension Panel Kit Pre-Fit
BlissTubs’two-pieceextensionpanelkitsaredesignedtobringourdierentsizetubsouttoatotallengthof
60 inches (or 5 feet), the standard stud to stud dimension for a bathtub/shower space. But tub spaces are rarely
either square or exactly 60 inches long if and when tile, cement, backer board, wall panel, or sheet rock are
added. So in most cases some trimming of the extension panel will be necessary.
Extension panel kits are designed and intended to be installed behind the seat. When installing a right hand tub
(door is on the right side) then a right hand extension panel kit is included and intended to be installed behind
theseat(whichwouldbeagainsttheleftwallasshownbelow).Wheninstallingaangedowntub,theextension
panels are “universal” and can be installed on either end of the tub.
INSTALLATION
Extension Panel Front Piece
Extension Panel Top Piece
Cutting the extension panels:
1. Mark the panel with a scribe following the contour of the wall it will be installed against.
2. Ananglegrinderwithamediumtonegritbladeisrecommendedforcuttingtheberglassandgelcoat
parts.Areciprocatingsawwithanetoothmetalbladeorajigsawwithanetoothmetalbladeorcarbide
gritbladeatalowspeedcanalsobeused.Ifthespeedistoohightheblademaychipthegelcoatnish
along the cutting edge. The ideal blade for long term use is a carbide or diamond grit blade.
3. Finishthecutedgewithacouplelightpasseswithaneormediumgritsandpapertoremoveanysharp
edgesorsplintersontheundersideofthepanel.Becarefulnottodullthenishofthegelcoat.

Pretting the extension panel clips:
Installtheclipsontheangeofthetubbehindtheseat.Dependingonthetubmodelbeinginstalled,thepanel
may have clips that are either pre-attached (seen on previous page) or come separately with the packaging
(seebelow).Iftheyworkforthegivenapplicationthenusethem.Iftheydonottforaparticularsituationthen
screwsorboltscanbeusedtojointheextensionpaneltothetubange.
IMPORTANT... DO NOT ATTACH THE PANEL YET, JUST GET EVERYTHING PRE-FIT.
Bracing the extension panels:
Attach a support to the wall for the wall edge of the extension panel. You may use any appropriate material to
properly brace the extension panel as long as it complies with local, state, and any federal codes. The most
commonly used bracing material is a section of 2x4 lumber nailed or screwed to the wall studs. Make sure the
material is level and stable.
Steel hanger brackets (not provided) similar to the one shown here can also be used and are available for
purchase at most local retail hardware supply stores.

1. Makesuretheshutovalvesatthetubareshuto.
2. Turn the water supply to the house back on.
3. Connectthesupplyexhosestothewallvalves.Althoughthesupplyhoseshaveintegratedwashers,itis
stillrecommendedthatteontapeorthreadsealantbeusedonthethreadstoensureacompleteseal
4. DONOTCONNECTthesupplylinestothetubyet.Besuretoushthelinesofanydebristhatmayhave
beenloosedbyshuttinghousesupplyonando.Placetheotherendofthesupplyhoseinthedrainand
slowly open the wall valve. Let it run for a couple minutes to clear out air and debris. Once there is a clean
andconstantow,turnthewallvalveoandconnectthesupplyexhosetothevalveonthetubdeck.These
steps need to be done for both the hot and cold lines.
CAUTION... BE SURE TO FLUSH SUPPLY LINES PRIOR TO HOOKUP. RELEASED DEBRIS
AND SEDIMENT IN LINES CAN DAMAGE OR CLOG THE CERAMIC CARTRIDGES IN THE
VALVES AND DIVERTER AND CAN DAMAGE THE HAND SHOWER.
5. Connectthedraintothep-traplocatedintheooraccordingtolocalplumbingcodes.
6. Now test both the faucets and the drain function checking for any leaks at any of the plumbing connections.
It is the responsibility of the contractor/installer to make sure all plumbing connections are water tight.
4. Electrical Connection (if so equipped)
Allelectricalworkshouldbedonebyaqualiedlicensedelectrician.BlissTubsystemscomewithstandard
three-prong NEMA plugs and are not manufacturer approved for hardwiring to a junction box. Hardwiring of
any kind or tampering with the integrated electrical systems will void the warranty. Plug in each of the electrical
systems to a dedicated GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) three-prong outlet. All systems require 110 V, 60
HZ cycle and vary in their amperage draw.
Air Blower – 9.5 amps
Hydro Pump – 9.4 amps
Tee-heater – 12.5 amps
WARNING... BE SURE NOT TO OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT BY PLUGGING IN TOO MUCH
AMPERAGE DEMAND WHICH COULD RESULT IN TRIPPED GFCI OUTLETS, TRIPPED
BREAKERS, OR FIRE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A 12 GAUGE WIRE IS RUN TO A 20 AMP BREAKER
FOR THE 2 GANG GFCI OUTLET AND BOTH THE TEE-HEATER AND THE HYDRO PUMP ARE
PLUGGED INTO THAT OUTLET, YOU WOULD BE DRAWING 21.9 AMPS (HEATER 12.5 AMPS +
PUMP 9.4 AMPS = 21.9 AMPS) ON A 20 AMP CIRCUIT. IN THIS CASE, YOU WOULD NEED TO
RUN A SECOND CIRCUIT. MAKE SURE ALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND CONNECTIONS
(IF APPLICABLE) ARE SET UP TO LOCAL CODES. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SEE APPENDIX D (PAGE 32).

5. Test
Now that the tub is in place and everything is hooked up, run the tub and test all the features before installing the
surround and extension kit.
1. Clean the door seal and jamb of any dust or debris by wiping with a soft cloth and shut the door.
2. Checkthefunctionandowfromthehotandcoldvalvesmakingsuretheyturnfreelywithoutrubbingonthe
tub deck or the bell housing. Tighten as necessary.
3. Test the function of the diverter and make sure there are no leaks from the handspray and ex hose
connection.
4. Look underneath the tub deck and make sure there are no leaks from any of the plumbing.
5. Test the function and feel of the drain hand control. If it is tough to turn or sounds like its grinding it may need
to be adjusted.
6. Make sure the stopper holds water when in the down position and pops up
as high as possible to allow for the fastest drain time. The screw height in the
bottom of the stopper needs to be adjusted for each tub and the locking nut
MUST be tightened after correct height is determined.
WARNING... FAILURE TO LOCK THE NUT ON THE
DRAIN STOPPER COULD RESULT IN DRAIN FAILURE
AND ENTRAPMENT OF TUB USER. IF STOPPER DOES
NOT RESPOND TO HAND DIAL, THE STOPPER CAN BE
LIFTED OUT BY HAND AT ANY TIME.
7. Once the drain is working properly, ll the tub with water to
above the highest water jet (if equipped).
8. Asthetubislling,continuallycheckthedoorsealandalltheplumbingforanyleaks.
9. Oncethetubislled,testthesystemsandalltheirfunctions.Checkallintegralandnon-integralpipingfor
leaks while the systems are operating. See Appendix D (page 32) for details on the operation of each system.
10. Drain the tub and make sure the stopper stays up until the tub is completely drained. Continue to check for
leaks as you drain the tub. Pay special attention to the waste plumbing connections as the tub is draining.
11. If the tub is equipped with an air system, there will be a blinking light on the control head after the water
drains signifying the 20 minute timer is activated. In 20 minutes the air system will turn itself on for one minute
topurgethelinesofanymoistureandwillturnitselfoattheendofoneminute.
FINISHING WORK
1. Extension Panel Finish
Add some construction adhesive (i.e. Loctite Power Grab, Liquid Nails or comparable adhesive) between the
joining surfaces in addition to the screws/bolts for added strength. Please note that in most situations, the
extensionpanelkitcanbedisregardedinfavorofatiledorotherwisenishedshelf(ifapplicable).Alwaysensure
