3. Secure the Whirlpool to the Subﬂoor

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pumps, or use the

piping or pumps for structural support of the whirlpool.

Choose the installation option that best applies to your particular installation. Follow the

appropriate instructions.

If the subﬂoor is not level, shim the whirlpool support blocks as necessary.

Option for Using a Cement or Mortar Bed

Spread a 2” (5 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subﬂoor where the whirlpool will be set.

This will help secure, level, and support the unit. Clear all the material away from the pump

controls and support block locations.

NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide an

acceptable, durable bond.

NOTE: The pump controls (when the pump banding straps are cut) and support blocks must rest

directly on the subﬂoor.

Position a piece of plastic drop cloth material on top of the cement or mortar bed. With help,

carefully lift the whirlpool into place, and make sure the pump controls and support blocks do not

rest in the bed material.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.

Option for Using Construction Adhesive

Apply a generous amount of high-quality construction adhesive to the bottom of the support blocks.

With help, carefully lift the whirlpool into position.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.

Option for Using Silicone Sealant

With help, carefully lift the whirlpool into position.

Insert the drain tailpiece into the trap. Make sure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.

Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant around the entire rim of the whirlpool.
