Clear space for pump.

3. Secure the Unit — Models With Support Blocks

NOTICE: Do not lift the whirlpool by the piping or pump, or use the piping or pump for structural

support of the whirlpool. To avoid damage to the whirlpool, lift at the sides of the whirlpool.

NOTICE: Do not support the load weight of the whirlpool by the perimeter of the rim. The rim perimeter

must be adequately supported, but must not support the load weight of the whirlpool.

If the subﬂoor is not level, shim the whirlpool support blocks as necessary.

Choose the installation option that best applies to your particular installation. Follow the appropriate

instructions.

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.

Secure the drain tailpiece to the trap. Ensure 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. Ensure the whirlpool is level and resting on all support

blocks.
