Product Information (cont.)

Product Notices

NOTICE: Keep the area around the blower motor clean and free of debris. Ensure that the area around the

blower motor is free of sawdust, insulation, dirt, or other small loose debris. Such material could clog the

blower motor air ducts and reduce the air ﬂow through the blower.

Factory-Assembled Features

Factory installed components include blower motor with power supply cord, check valve, air piping, user

keypad, and keypad cable. Other than power wiring and plumbing, no assembly is needed.

Connections and Service Access

NOTICE: Provide unrestricted service access to the blower motor and check valve. The access must be

located immediately next to the blower motor. Study the roughing-in information packed with the bath.

Before installation, ensure that there is proper access to the blower motor and ﬁnal connections. If the blower

motor is installed in an enclosed area, an access panel is required at the blower motor. This panel should be

(kg/square meter) ﬂoor support loading.

NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed

location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor

closer than 1″(2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.

Make sure the ﬂoor offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subﬂoor is ﬂat and

level.

Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation.

Install an access panel to allow the blower motor to be serviced.

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

check for leaks.

2. Prepare the Site - Concrete Construction

NOTICE: Do not support the bath by the rim.

NOTICE: Refer to the Roughing-in Guide packed with this product for proper minimum lbs/square foot

(kg/square meter) ﬂoor support loading.

NOTICE: Provide adequate ventilation and a minimum of 15 cubic feet (.4 cubic meters) in the installed

location for cooling the motor and to supply sufficient air for the blower. Do not install the blower motor

closer than 1″(2.5 cm) from the wall or other objects.

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

level.

Construct brick or concrete supports.

Provide a 1/16″(2 mm) gap between the bath rim and the concrete or brick framing. Frame the

ﬂoor, or construct a frame for a raised installation, in accordance with the roughing-in information

packed with the bath.

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

check for leaks.

3. Prepare the Bath with Airjets

Install the drain to the bath according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Do not connect the

trap at this time.

Position a clean drop cloth or similar material in the bottom of the bath to protect the ﬁnish. Be

careful not to scratch the surface of the bath.

4. Secure the Unit

NOTICE: Do not lift the bath with airjets by the air channels or blower motor, or use the piping or blower

motor for structural support of the bath.

NOTICE: Do not support the bath 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 bath support blocks as necessary.

Option Using a Cement or Mortar Bed

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

an acceptable, durable bond.

Spread a 2″(5.1 cm) thick layer of cement or mortar on the subﬂoor where the bath will be set. This

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

locations.

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

With help, carefully lift the bath into place, and make sure the support blocks do not rest in the bed

material.

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

Remove the protective tape from the rim. Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant

around the entire rim of the bath.

Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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 bath into position.

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

Remove the protective tape from the rim. Apply a continuous bead of high-quality silicone sealant

around the entire rim of the bath.

Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Secure the Bath with Airjets

Wood Construction

Drill a small pilot hole through the nailing-in ﬂange at each stud. Add shims between the nailing-in

ﬂange and the studs as needed to eliminate gaps.

Nail 1/4” (6 mm) thick furring strips to the studs to shim out to the edge of the nailing-in ﬂange.

Use #6 large-head galvanized nails to secure the nailing-in ﬂange to the studs.

Concrete Construction

NOTE: We recommend that the ﬂange be secured to the wall for support.

Drill pilot holes through the nailing-in ﬂange so they are about 16” (40.6 cm) apart.

Install concrete wall anchors to the wall at the pilot hole locations.

Secure the nailing-in ﬂange to the wall anchors with screws.

6. Install the Plumbing

WARNING: Risk of property damage. Ensure a watertight seal on the bath drain.

Connect the drain to the trap according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE: An access panel will simplify future maintenance.

Install the faucet valving according to the faucet manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install the

faucet trim until instructed. Open the hot and cold water supplies, and check the supply

connections for leakage.

Run water into the bath, and check the drain connections for leakage.

Stud

Nail 1/4" (6 mm)

thick furring strips

to the studs.

Drill a small hole

through the nailing-in

flange at each stud.

Use #6 large-head

galvanized nails to secure

7. Make Electrical Connections

DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Connect the bath with airjets to a properly grounded

Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD). This will provide

additional protection against line-to-ground shock hazard. A 120 V, 15 A dedicated circuit is

required.

DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Make sure the power has been disconnected before performing

the following procedures.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. A licensed electrician must route all electrical wiring and

connections for this product. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard and may not

comply with local building and electrical codes.

A 120 V, 15 A dedicated circuit is required. Provide a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter

(GFCI) and route service to the blower motor.

Provide a separate equipment grounding conductor for the ground lug. The conductor must not be

connected to any current-carrying conductor.

A junction box is supplied at the blower motor air outlet. This is the shipping position. Cut the

cable tie and remove the cover.

Mount the junction box 1-1/2″(3.8 cm) above ﬂoor level within 24″(61 cm) of the blower motor.

If required, route the blower motor pigtail lead to the junction box.

Connect electrical service to the junction box according to the wiring detail. Provide adequate strain

relief.

Bond to either ground lug on the junction box in accordance with national and local codes.
