Inspection and Testing

Visual Inspection
Remove the bathtub from the shipping carton. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the bathtub on exposed
1
staples. Remove the staples or fold them into the carton. Retain the carton until satisfactory inspection of the
product has been made. Do not lift the bathtub by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only.
Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish or visible
2
damage to any components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after the bathtub
is installed is excluded from the warranty. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath's responsibility for shipping damage ceases upon
delivery of the products in good order to the carrier.
Refer any claims for damage to the carrier. For definitions of warranty coverage and limitations, refer to the
3
published warranty information packed with the product or in the back of this manual.
Bathtub Water and Operational Test
All bathtub units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections prior to shipping. However, the unit
must be retested by the installer prior to installation. Jacuzzi Luxury Bath is not responsible for any defect that could
have been discovered, repaired, or avoided by following this inspection and testing procedure:
Place the bathtub on a level surface, near appropriate electrical supply, water supply, and water drainage. A
1
driveway is a suitable choice.
Seal the drain and overflow hole with tape or a stopper and fill the bathtub to the bottom of the overflow hole.
2
Allow bathtub to stand for 5 minutes.
3
Plug in blower and turn unit on. Confirm that all features function as described in the Operation section of this
4
manual. Do not install the bathtub if bathtub fails to operate as described.
Visually inspect all joints for leaks. Do not install the bathtub if leaks are detected.
5
Return bathtub to box or otherwise protect from damage until time of installation.

Framing and Support

A Technical Specifications section has been included with your bathtub. The Technical Specifications section will
contain pertinent information regarding your Jacuzzi Luxury Bath product.
Frame out the space where the bathtub is to be located.
The following should be taken into consideration when
preparing the area:
•
Dimensions provided on rough-in diagrams are
nominal. Measure your actual unit upon receipt and
build according to the actual dimensions.
•
The floor structure beneath the bathtub must be able
to support the total weight of the bathtub, water and
bather.
•
The unit must be supported from the bottom of the
bathtub and not from the bathtub rim. For drop-in
installations, take into account the thickness of the
surround material and finishing material (marble, tile,
etc.).
•
The rim of the bath is not designed to support
weight. If finish material is to overlap or contact the
bath, the added weight must be fully self-supporting.
