5. Secure the Whirlpool

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.

CAUTION: 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.
