Warranty

Care and Operating Instructions

Inspection & Shipping Claim Upon receiving tub, inspect unit for shipping damage. Spurlin Industries is not responsible for damage sustained during shipping. If damage is evident notify carrier immediately and note damage on shipping documents, as all units are fully inspected before leaving the factory and are shipped FOB. Spurlin bathtubs are not intended for the aftermarket installation of whirlpool jets or system. Drilling holes other than for valves or faucets will void warranty. The Spurlin warranty is limited solely to the replacement of a faulty tub and does not include the complete cost of tear-out or rebuilding to a finished state. Important Pre-installation Planning Floor must support 50lbs per square foot DO NOT LIFT OR HANDLE UNIT BY JETS OR PIPING. Protect the interior finish of the tub throughout framing and installation. A polystyrene tub liner is available as an option with Spurlin bathtubs. Service access with clearance of a minimum of 14" x 16" must be provided for access to service connections. Drain/Waste and overflow pipe stub must be located in wall or floor to match the horizontal or vertical tee opening. Provide a 6" x 12" drain opening in sub floor or slab. Tub decks are constructed with zero draft and are not recommended for use as showers. Electrical Connections The unit should be connected to a 115 volt supply circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupt GFCI. The 115 volt 60 cycle pump requires 9.2 amps. See wiring diagram attached to the pump. The pump is fitted with a three prong electrical cord ready to be plugged into the 115 GFCI.

Framing & Installation Procedure


Installation of Oval tubs, Heart tubs, or radius apron tubs may require a template for the deck cutout. A cutout line can be drawn by inverting the tub and tracing an outline, and undercut the outline by 1" all the way around.

In an alcove installation construct the framework as shown. Note the overall unit measurements for accuracy and leave room for wall materials.

In an Island, Peninsula, or sunken installation, construct the framework as shown. Be aware of overall unit measurements for accuracy.

In all installations be certain that the framework is square, plumb, and level, and that all measurements are accurate. Correct an error NOW!!!

For the DECK CUTOUT mark two centerlines as one major and one minor. Lay out the cut from the template or from the true measurements of the tub, working from center. The cutout should be 2" less than the tub, except as the tub restricts.

INSTALL DRAIN KIT on the tub.

The bathtub is ready for a TRIAL FIT. Install the unit in a LIP HUNG position and inspect for clearance and alignment. Note the clearance from the floor or sub-floor. The unit should be in a total hanging position.

Verify that rim of tub is resting on deck surface, properly positioned and unit remains completely level for proper drainage. In some situations it may be necessary to shim the support legs to the sub-floor, where height variances occur. These must be secured with fasteners also.

Connect the Drain/Waste fitting and test for proper drainage. Apply a gallon of water to the bottom, opposite the drain end and observe for full drainage. Some water beading will occur due to the new surface finish, but full drainage should be obvious.

IF THE TUB DOES NOT DRAIN PROPERLY make an immediate correction or remove the tub and inspect the framework for proper alignment. If necessary, return to Step 7, above, and check level status of tub. Do not set tub if it does not drain properly, contact Sales Agent.

Use the shipping carton or tub liner to cover the tub during the rest of the construction process.

Verify all measurements
from unit being installed.
