1. Prepare the Site

NOTICE: Unless otherwise speciﬁed, ﬂoor support under the whirlpool must provide for a minimum of

80 lbs/square foot (390 kg/square meter) loading.

NOTICE: Do not support the whirlpool by the rim.

Make sure the ﬂooring offers adequate support for your whirlpool, and verify that the subﬂoor is

ﬂat and level.

The whirlpool should be installed in a drop-in, ﬂush, or tiled ledge installation. Construct 2x4 or 2x6

stud framing designed for your particular installation. Provide for a 1/16″ (2 mm) gap between the

bottom of the whirlpool rim and the stud framing for drop-in installations. Frame the ﬂoor, or

construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with the roughing-in information packed

with the whirlpool.

Carefully lay out and cut the rough deck material. Use the cut-out template if one is provided, or

refer to the roughing-in cut-out information.

Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information packed. Cap the supplies, and

check for leaks.
