OWNER’S MANUAL

1. FIRST, inspect the carton for damage: CAREFULLY DOCUMENT AND PHOTOGRAGH ALL PERCEIVED

DAMAGE. Report all damage claims to customer service 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. Thisshould 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 WILL ALSO RESULT IN ASSUMPTION OF ALL

LIABILITY BY SAID INSTALLER.

OWNER’S MANUAL

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.

The unit needs to be filled with water and inspected for leaks along the door as well as the whirlpool and

air systems if equipped. The inspection needs to be performed with and without the whirlpool and / or ai

r

systems operating. 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 30 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

30 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 jets are adjustable for both flow rate and

direction of flow. The jet water flow rate is adjusted by turning either the outside ring or the

inside nozzle clockwise or counterclockwise. Some jets are not adjustable at the jet face, but

can be adjust by the “Leg’s Only Massage”. The “Legs Only Massage” Valve is located near

the seat. (If equipped.) .

3.

If the pump/blower/lights/heater does not operate:

a. Check the breaker to ensure that power is on and make sure that any cables and / or air lines

connecting the control boxes to the switches and pumps are firmly attached. Verify the correct

electrical circuit and amps of the electrical cord.

b. Go to Trouble Shooting Guidelines. (See pages 24-26.)

c. 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 warranty period. (See pg. 23.)

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

TESTING YOUR WALK-IN TUB BEFORE INSTALLATION

OWNER’S MANUAL

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 leveling

feet to perfectly level the tub.

Note: It is important that all 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. (See page 8.)

OWNER’S MANUAL

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.

WARNING: When installing whirlpool massage baths, air spa baths, combo baths, or Quick Drain®

equipped 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. The Gel Coat Series

requires the installation of a door drain with check valve. The check valve and tubing must be installed

horizontal to the floor. Some installations will require the purchase of additional fittings.

2. American Standard Faucet Installation # 9FHS-CH

• Review the installation instructions packed with the faucet set.

• Mask off the tub’s deck with a protective tape.

• Locate and mark the center line of the overflow fitting

• Locate and mark 1-1/2" line either side of the tub’s center line to establish the overflow clearance.

• Follow the drill template and faucet installation instructions.

3. Other Faucet Model and / or Brand

• Review the installation instructions packed with the faucet set.

• Mask off the tub’s deck with a protective tape.

• Locate and mark the center line of the overflow fitting

• Locate and mark 1-1/2" line either side of the tub’s center line to establish the overflow clearance.

• Verify the first two component mounting clearance on either side of the waste overflow as well as

above and below the tub’s deck.

• Verify the remaining component mounting clearance on both sides of the overflow as well as above

and below the tub’s deck.

• It is recommended the hand held shower be installed on the corner closest to the wall to prevent water

from leaking off the deck and on to the floor.

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

5. Standard Walk-In Bath 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 leveling feet, water

will not drain properly and this may cause the door to leak). Secure tub frame to the studs using metal

straps. (Not provided.)

5a. 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 firerated

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.

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

touching the ground.

7.

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