FREESTANDING BATH GENERAL GUIDELINES
For All Models
• Carefully read all instructions before beginning the installation.
• Consult local building codes to assure the installation complies with standards.
• It is always recommended that competent, experienced, licensed contractors do the plumbing and
electrical installations.
• For critical rough-in dimensions, we suggest taking the measurements of the actual tub on site. All printed
specications are ±
1
⁄2
"
and subject to change without notice.
• Assure that all necessary electrical is roughed in to the appropriate location(s) if applicable. Refer to the
specications of the tub being installed for electrical requirements. If a remote blower location is to be
used, 1 of the necessary circuit(s) will be at the location of the blower and the other necessary circuit(s)
will be at the tub location.
• Access must be provided for each major unit component if applicable (pump(s), blower, heater, control
boxes).
• For installations on slabs or other installations where access from below the tub is impossible, we require
cutting a hole in the slab or sub-oor large enough that it extends outside the base of the tub. This will
allow easier connection of the waste/overow and then can be re-lled and nished upon completion of
installation and testing. (see gures 1-3)
• Remove the unit from it’s packaging. Before disposing of the packaging, inspect the unit to be sure it
is in good shape. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the nish, contact your distributor
immediately. The warranty doesn’t cover damages or defects in the nish once the unit has been installed.
Hydro Massage Products’ responsibility for shipping damages ceases once the unit leaves our Colorado
facility. All complaints regarding damage due to transport must be made directly to the Freight Company.
• Except for the Ovale, Rosabella and Tahoe 7242 models, plumbing xtures can not be mounted on the tub
deck of Hydro Massage Products’ freestanding tubs. Floor or Wall-Mounted xtures are required.
1. Wall-Mounted – The position of the tub and the reach of the spout are critical. Ensure the spout will
extend out far enough to clear the tub ange and the falling water will not hit too high up on the side
wall of the tub and splash.
2. Floor-Mounted – Some oor mounted xtures must be anchored to the tub overow for
stabilization. This is only possible on our Natura and Tahoe 7236 models that utilize exposed
overow kits. The overow on our other freestanding models is either integral or concealed under
the apron of the tub so anchoring to the overow pipe is not possible and anchoring to the apron of
the tub is not recommended. Many oor mounted kits (with minor modication) can be mounted to
the wall, rather than the overow pipe, for stabilization.
