Installation Recommendations for Whirlpools & Spas or Tubs

This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons. As explained in Chapter 6:

The simplest and least expensive installationis into a two-wall or three-wall cove with factory-suppliedskirts to conceal the mechanicals. However, many customersprefer the look of a drop-in model with a custom tile surround(see Figure 6-53).

With either type of installation, it is criticalthat the weight of the tub be supported by the base, not thelip. With larger tubs, often holding 50 to 80 gallons of water(at 8 pounds per gallon), the framing and subfloor may needto be reinforced to support the total weight of the tub, water,and bathers. A larger water heater may also be needed.

The most common method to support the tub bottomand dampen vibration is to set the tub onto several smallmounds of wet plaster or mortar mix that compress andconform to the shape of the tub bottom as it is installed. Anon shrinking grout such as Sonogrout 10K (Sonneborn) isbest since it will not leave gaps as it dries.

Partially fillingthe tub with water until the mortar sets will ensure a goodfit. Many contractors recommend using mortar even withunits including “self-leveling” bases, which are designedto sit on a level subfloor with no additional support.

A few tubs are designed with individual bearing pointsmolded into the bottom of the tub. With this type, it is importantto make sure that the bearing points fall on joistsor solid blocking. Solid bridging should also be added tohelp distribute the load to the surrounding joists.

Access Panel Designs for Whirlpool Baths, Jetted Tubs, Spas

With a custom-built surround, it is necessary to leave an access panel. Although access to the mechanicals is rarely needed, it should not require tearing apart the tile surround.

A simple approach is to tile the accesspanel, hang it with magnets, and caulk the joint between theaccess panel and surrounding tiles. If access is necessary,the caulk can be slit with a knife and the panel removed.

Where the tub rim meets tile at a wall or the top of thesurround, use a flexible caulk rather than grout, which willcrack as the tub flexes, and expands and contracts withtemperature changes.

Question: jetted tub elevation for basement installation

6/16/2014 Anonymous said:

Is it necessary to raise a jet tub installed in the basement by 12 inches to allow for drainage?

Reply:

Anon,

You have two general approaches to drainage options when installing a jetted tub or any other plumbing system in a building basement:

IF the outlet of the plumbing fixture trap is sufficiently high above the point at which the fixture drain connects to a building drain then the fixture can drain by gravity. Sometimes we gain a little height at the fixture to make a drain line work by building a platform onto which the toilet, tub, or shower is installed, allowing it to drain by gravity. You need between 1/8' and 1/4' of slope per foot over the entire run of the plumbing drain.

IF the fixture outlet trap is too low to drain by gravity and building a platform is not practical, for example when the building drain exits high on the basement wall, you'll need to install an ejector pump and check valve so that drainage from the fixture can be lifted to the height of the building drain. If a toilet also empties into the ejector pump then a grinder pump is needed.
