Our goal is to ensure that your installation goes smoothly and safely. Please read these safety
instructions carefully and follow the recommendations for plumbing and mounting. If, after
reading this instruction manual, you determine you do not have the necessary skills and/or
tools, we then recommend a licensed plumbing contractor complete the installation.
You will need the following tools:
Soft pencil or felt pen to mark tile
Tape Measure
Level
Drill (Preferably cordless) A Reciprocating Saw w/metal cutting blade
(Sawzall
® )
Channel Locks or adjustable wrench
¼”
Masonry Drill Bit
New Construction/Extensive Remodel
“New Finished Wall Surface”
1. Prior to sheetrock, stub-out ½” hot and cold supply lines beyond the finished wall
surface, 4” on center. The height of the Stub-outs is completely dependent upon the
desired mounting height of the Molokai
®
Showerspa. For a person 5’8” – 6’2” we
recommend the stub-outs be 52” from the finished floor. 1
2. After the finished wall surface has been completed, make certain the water is completely
turned off to both hot & cold supply lines of the Shower. Connect the 90° male threaded
fittings to the stub-outs maintaining ¼” – ½” space between the fitting and finished wall.
The open end of the threaded male fitting should point down.
3. Mark the location of the mounting holes for the top bracket making sure the bracket is
level. For a person 5’8” – 6’2” tall, we recommend 68” from finished floor height 2 . To
locate the lower bracket, measure the distance from the bottom edge of the upper
mounting bar to the bottom edge of the lower mounting bar. Use this measurement to
locate holes for the lower mounting bracket by measuring down from the upper holes.
Make sure the holes are plumb with the upper mounting holes. Before drilling holes for
the brackets, make certain the Showerspa will rest flat against finished wall surface at the
desired mounting height with the supply lines connected.
4. Drill ¼” holes through the wall surface using a masonry bit. Drill slowly through wall
surface to avoid cracking and chipping. Insert anchor and securely screw brackets to wall.
Before connecting hot and cold supply lines, mount the Showerspa on the wall, checking
the height, and making sure the Showerspa feels secure.
5. Connect hot and cold water supply lines to male threaded pipe. Do not over-tighten.
Before mounting the Showerspa, check the fittings to make sure they are secure. Turn on
water and check for leaks. When fittings are leak-free mount Showerspa on wall.
6. Seal around the body of Showerspa with a bead of silicone.
1 The desired mounting height of the Showerspa determines the height of the ½” stub-outs. The stub-outs
must be located at a height allowing the supply lines to be connected and the body of the Showerspa to rest
flat against the finished wall.
2 This height may vary depending on several factors (i.e. location of supply lines, interference from
Showerspa plumbing, personal preference, etc.).
