7. Complete the Finished Wall

- If you have not already done so, carefully remove the protective tape from the whirlpool rim.

- If a tiling in bead is used, make sure the bead is securely attached to the sides of the whirlpool rim that contact the

stud walls.

- Cover the framing with water resistant wall material. Seal the joints between the whirlpool rim edge and the

water resistant wall material with silicone sealant.

- Tape and mud the water resistant wall material. Install the finished wall to the water resistant wall material. Seal

the joints between the whirlpool rim and the finished wall material with silicone sealant.

- Install the faucet trim according to the instructions packed with the trim.

8. Clean-Up After Installation

- When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive cleansers, as they may scratch and dull the whirlpool

surface. Use warm water and a liquid detergent to clean the surface.

- Remove stubborn stains, paint, or tar with turpentine or paint thinner. Do not allow cleaners containing

petroleum distillates to remain in contact with any whirlpool surfaces for long periods of time. Remove plaster

by carefully scraping with a wood edge. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools. Use a

powder type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual plaster.
