Installation Guide

Laurel Mountain - Owner’s Manual
Rough in the wiring on a single 120VAC, 20 amp, GFCI protected dedicated circuit for each whirlpool, air
system, or heater installed on the tub.
WARNINGS:
1) All electrical connections must be made by a licensed certified electrician in accordance with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code and applicable state and local codes and procedures.
2) All circuits connected to this unit must be equipped with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protection. It is the tub installer’s responsibility to wire the circuit with GFCI.
3) All bathtubs equipped with an inline heater require two dedicated circuits. One for the whirlpool system
and one for optional inline heater. The heater has a piggyback outlet that ONLY the mood light may be
plugged into.
4) DO NOT splice a longer cord to the power supply cord and DO NOT connect to an extension cord.
All whirlpool, air systems, and heaters are equipped with a molded plug on the end of a power supply core.
One or two outlet boxes will be factory installed to accommodate tubs with three plugs. Electric power may
be supplied to the outlet boxes OR install a separate, dedicated 120VAC, 20 Amp GFCI protected electrical wall
plug outlet inside the access panel for each pump, blower, and heater equipped on the tub. For example, if the
tub is equipped with a whirlpool system only, then one GFCI wall plug outlet is necessary. If the tub is
equipped with both whirlpool system and a heater then two separate circuits with GFCI wall plug outlets are
required. Be sure to count the number of accessories before installing the GFCI wall outlets. Also, the power
supply cords equipped with each accessory are only 2.5’ long, so locate the GFCI wall outlet within 1.5’ of the
intended accessory. Note: If using the outlet boxes installed by our factory, the double outlet box is a “split”
box & a separate 20 Amp circuit electric line must be run to both the top & bottom outlet.

Please note, that when sizing the electrical circuits to power the unit, you should always check the rating
labels on equipment because there could be changes.
Install fill valves and spout in the desired locations. Note, due to various possible fill valve and spout locations,
the holes are not drilled at the factory. Make certain that the spout is long enough to clear the interior rim of
the tub. If installing fill valves on the deck of the tub, be sure that you have enough clearance for connections
of valve to tub and water connections before drilling/cutting into tub. Seal the joints under the tub rim and
against the wall with a water resistant seal. Then install a standard 1.5” trap to the drain and overflow.
Before proceeding, make a final operational check by filling the tub with water to the overflow and operate
all components for at least 5 minutes. Leave the water in the bath for 30 minutes, check the connections for
leaks during and after operation. Complete the installation with desired trim material on the back wall, side
walls, and down exposed interior walls.
