UNPACKING THE UNIT

1. FIRST, inspect the carton for damage: Take a picture if possible. CAREFULLY

RECORD ALL PERCEIVED DAMAGE and call us at 1-866-423-0800.

2. DO NOT LIFT THE TUB BY THE PLUMBING. Doing so can result in leaks, for

which the installer is responsible. All Walk-In Tubs are water tested before they

leave our factory and the bathtub you have purchased has passed inspection.

3. Immediately inspect the unit for damage even if there is no carton damage. All

product damage must be reported within 72 hours of receipt from American

Standard®. Once the unit is installed, surface damages will be assumed to be

installation-related if not reported prior to installation. Installers are also

responsible for damage that occurs once the unit is placed in its niche.

NOTE: Remove all packaging material except for the protective plastic. This has

been placed on the tub at the factory to eliminate abrasions from handling. This

should only be removed at final clean up.

4. Inspect the plumbing for any fittings that may have loosened in transit.

5. Read the following instructions completely before installing this product. If the

home-owner or installer has any questions, please call us at 1-866-423-0800.

6. You must follow all the instructions in this manual.

FAILURE TO READ AND COMPLY WITH ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN

PRODUCT DAMAGE OR INJURY TO BOTH INSTALLER AND HOMEOWNER. IT

OWNERS MANUAL

TESTING YOUR WALK-IN TUB BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. All American Standard® walk-in baths are 100% water tested at the factory and have passed inspection.

Transportation and mishandling may loosen fittings and cause leaks. It is therefore necessary to test the

bathtub while there is access to all sides of the bath.

2. This unit should be both static and operationally tested with water. It is best to test the unit outside by

filling with a garden hose.

a. Place the tub on a completely flat surface in an area where it may be drained after testing.

b. Using a clean rag and warm water wipe down seal to insure it is free of debris.

c. Seal the drain hole (this can be done with tape) and fill the tub to at least three inches above the

highest jet, or to the bottom of the safety bar if no jets are present.

d. Allow the water to stand in tub for 10 minutes and then inspect all plumbing and seals for

leaks.

e. Using appropriately rated three-prong extension cords, all plugged in to separate outlets,

operate all electrical components (air blower, water pump, and heater if applicable) for another

10 minutes and inspect for leaks again. Inspect the unions around the pump and heater.

f. If a leak persists at a union after tightening, it may have been over-tightened or might have a

displaced O-ring. Disassemble it and make sure the O-ring was seated properly. Do the same if

a leak persists at the heater. Verify that the heater threads match the pipe threads.

g. Ensure that all jets are open and working (some hydro jets are adjustable for both flow rate and

direction of flow. For some jets, the water flow is adjusted by turning either the outside ring or

the inside nozzle clockwise or counterclockwise. The small jets are not adjustable at the jet but

can be adjusted by the pump speed or legs only massage.

3. If the pump/blower/heater does not operate:

a. Check the breaker to ensure that power is on and make sure that any cables connecting the

control box to the switches and pumps are firmly attached. Check outlet for current by plugging

in a light or hair dryer.

b. Ensure the pump/blower is plugged into the control box and the control box is plugged into the

wall.

c. If an optional heater is present, check the indicator light on the top of its housing. This light

will only come on while the pump is running. The heater is dormant when no water flows.

d. Do not run any pumps unless the tub is filled with water to the proper level. Damage due to dry

operation of pumps is not covered under the ten year warranty.

Failure to perform these tests before installation will make the installer liable for future repair costs.

OWNERS MANUAL

INSTALLATION PREPARATION

1. Check the floor area where the tub is to be installed.

a. Clean area of any debris or trash.

b. Use a 5 or 6-foot level and determine if the floor is level. If the floor is not level,

adjust all 5 leveling feet to perfectly level the tub. Note: It is important that all

5 leveling feet are completely touching the floor and level for the door system to

work properly.

2. Check to ensure that the drain piping has been “roughed-in” at the proper location. See

specification sheets (installation detail) included in this manual.

3. Ensure that the proper electrical service has been installed at the pump location. See electrical

requirements in the manual.

OWNERS MANUAL

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

All electrical wiring must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and with all

local codes. All wiring shall be done by a qualified electrician. Run one, two or three branch circuits

(as required) from the main electrical service panel to the pump area of the framing structure to

provide power to the unit.

Electrical components have specific wiring requirements. Refer to the matrix below for the electrical

supply requirements for the whirlpool bathtub and factory installed components.

Branch circuits must be rated for 110 – 120 volts. Use 12 Gauge, 3 conductor cable for the circuits.

If the length run exceeds 100 feet, check with local codes for requirements. Install moisture proof

junction box(s) 6” above the floor at the pump end of the framing for each circuit.

DO NOT INSTALL THE JUNCTION BOX(S) WHERE IT CAN BE REACHED WHILE SITTING OR

STANDING IN THE TUB OR TOUCHING THE FAUCETS.

OWNERS MANUAL

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

▲WARNING: When installing whirlpool massage baths, air spa baths, or combo baths, the following

precautions must be followed:

▲WARNING: Danger: Risk of electrical shock; connect components to separate circuits, EACH protected

by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)

▲WARNING: Installation must provide access for servicing the pump and motor (all American

Standard® walk-in baths come with access panels for the pump, motor and faucet).

1. Install tub waste/overflow according to instructions included with the provided kits. Some installations will

require the purchase of additional fittings.

2. Install faucet. If spout and supply lines are to be installed on deck of tub, carefully mark their locations and

drill ¼” pilot holes from acrylic side of product. Using properly sized hole saws, drill spout, hand shower,

diverter and supply lines from acrylic side of the product.

NOTE: Do not drill a hole in the deck directly above the overflow. Position the diverter slightly to one

side to clear the waste/overflow fitting. “Dry-fitting” the top portion of the overflow will make this crystal

clear. The handle sequence is generally: “Hot, Cold, Diverter, Spout and Handheld”. It is recommended

that the handheld be installed on the corner closest to the wall to prevent water from leaking off the deck

and onto the floor.

3. Install the optional in-line water heater per manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Standard Installation - After framing is complete, set product in place to check fit and make certain that the

tub can be properly leveled. (Caution: If the bathtub is not resting on all five leveling feet, water will not

drain properly and this may cause the door to leak). Secure tub frame to the studs using metal straps.

4a. Fire-Rated Drywall – If fire-rated drywall is specified, the finished fire-rated wall must be in place before

the tub is installed. The dimensions of the framing structure must be increased by the thickness of fire-

rated drywall.

WARNING: Never allow the weight of the tub to be supported by wood support stringers and do not use

integral tile flange (if equipped) to screw or nail in place, as this will result in product failure and will

void the warranty.

5. Verify the product is completely level by checking tub deck surface and ensure all 5 leveling feet are

touching the ground.

6. Electrical connection is made by simply plugging each cord into the GFCI outlet.

7. After plumbing and electrical connections have been made the tub should be cleaned of dirt and debris.

8. Installation is not complete until the bathtub has been water-tested in place and does not leak.

OWNERS MANUAL

Alcove Installation

Faucet and Pump

Access Panels

IMPORTANT

Do not use tile flange to

screw or nail tub in place.

Tubs installed in an alcove installation require a raised flange to prevent water from seeping past the tub and into

the wall. Tubs without a raised flange shall be installed with a tile flange kit model TFK-60. The flange kit is a

long plastic strip that is fits onto the rim of the tub to provide the leak protection needed.

The tile flange should be installed on the tub before it is placed in the alcove. Install the tile flange along all sides

of the tub where the wall will be. Measure to fit and miter cut the flange corners. The flange should be attached to

the tub with a construction adhesive. Once the tub is in place to be installed and flange kit mounted, fasten the

flange to studs using galvanized fasteners

Warning: Never attempt to nail or screw thru the tub as this will result in product failure and will void the

warranty.
