3. Secure the Unit

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

piping or pump for structural support of the whirlpool.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.

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 Using a Cement or Mortar Bed

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

acceptable, durable bond.

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

rest directly on the subﬂoor.

Spread a 2″ (5.1 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

support bracket and support block locations.

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 support bracket 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 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.

Clear space for pump.

Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) layer of

cement or mortar bed material.

Clear spaces for

support blocks.

Apply construction adhesive

to the support blocks.
