Plumbing Connections
Note: Turn off water at main shut-off valve before
making plumbing connections to supply lines.
Connect the water line from the hot and cold valve
to the threaded pipe extension of the fill spout per
illustration G or H. Use Teflon tape or thread seal-
ant designed for use on plastics. Do not use oil
base thread compounds.
OPTIONAL SHOWER HEAD
(NOT SUPPLIED)
TRANSFER VALVE
(NOT SUPPLIED)
For bath fill spout only applications, refer to the
suggested plumbing schemes G for separated
valves and H for paired valves. If a rim or wall
mounted shower is installed, a transfer or mixer
valve will be required. Three variations are shown
in illustration J (standard shower), K (rim mounted
or hand held), and L(shower with anti-siphon valve
if required by code.
If local plumbing codes require the installation of
an anti-siphon valve, locate the anti-siphon valve
6" above the rim of the bath in a vertical position
over a waterproof surface or fixture to allow for
any possible water leakage through the air vent.
The valve must be exposed and have access for
service.

Installation for Top Access
OPTIONAL SHOWER HEAD
(NOT SUPPLIED)
If service access to Water Rainbow plumbing
under the rim is not possible, it is possible to install
the spout so that it can be replaced at a later date
(if necessary) from the top of the rim. To do this,
allow at least 2" of flexibility in the piping so it can
be pulled up through the rim. Use a compression
fitting or union at the connection of the pipe exten-
sion to allow disconnection without rotating the fill
spout. If a compression fitting is not used, make
sure there is a space of at least 6" from the back
of the Water Rainbow to the wall, so the spout can
be rotated to unscrew it from the piping. (See il-
lustration M.)

FILL SPOUT FOR REMOVAL
Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath has provided a special
wrench with which to change the cylinder valve
assembly under the water supply handles should
it require replacement. Keep this tool in a safe
place for use at a later date. To replace the cylinder
valve and the seat assembly, first turn off the water
supply, then pry the insert from the square handle.
Next,removethePhillipsscrewsecuringthehandle
and remove the handle. Place the wrench on the
bonnet and turn it counterclockwise. Next, remove
the bonnet, leaving it in the wrench.

Note the position of the valve cylinder stop before
removing the cylinder. Now use pliers to pull the
valve cylinder stem out of the body, then slip the
replacement cylinder unit into the body so that
stops of both faucets are positioned downward,
toward the bottom of the bath allowing rotation in
the same direction.
Secure the bonnet in place with the wrench. Re-
place the handle and the screw. Snap the insert
into place. (See illustration N.) The above faucet
replacement parts are available from your Jacuzzi
Whirlpool Bath dealer.
