New Construction/Extensive Remodel
“New Finished Wall Surface”
1. Prior to sheetrock, stub-out 1/2” 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 Navajo ShowerSpa. For a person 5’8” – 6’2” we recommend the stub-outs to be 35” 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 1/4” – 1/2” space between the fitting and finished wall. The open end of the
threaded male fitting should point down.
3. Mark the location of the holes for the mounting bracket making sure the bracket is level. For a
person 5’8” – 6’2” tall, we recommend 53” from finished floor height². Before drilling holes for the
bracket, make certain the ShowerSpa will rest flat against finished wall surface at the desired
mounting height with the supply lines connected.
4. Drill 1/4” holes through the wall surface using a masonry bit. Drill slowly through wall surface to
avoid cracking and chipping. Insert anchor and securely screw bracket 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 mount-
ing 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. Hold hand held mount to desired height, making sure flexible hose reaches mount. Recommended
4" to 6" from ShowerSpa on the right side of the unit, so you can easily remove hand held wand.
Position mount flat on surface make two marks with pencil. Carefully drill ¼" holes through the wall
surface using masonry bit. Insert anchors and securely screw mount to wall.
7. Optional: Seal around the body of ShowerSpa with a bead of silicone.
¹ The desired mounting height of the ShowerSpa determines the height of the 1/2” 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.)
Retrofitting An Existing Shower:
Note: In a re-model in which you are not replacing the finished wall surface (tile, or backing material)
it is advisable to purchase a PULSE ShowerSpa model that covers the location of the existing valve
assembly- either single handle or two-handle type. If your PULSE ShowerSpa model does not cover
this area, you will need to either choose another PULSE ShowerSpa model that does or make the
necessary repairs with appropriate materials (i.e. wallboard, tile, fiberglass, etc).
1. Turn off the water supply to the shower. (Note: Typically there is a gate valve where the water
main enters the house. Turning the water valve off at the hot water tank does not turn off the cold
water supply line.)
2. Make certain the water is completely turned off to both hot & cold supply lines of the Shower.
(Turn the shower valve on, both hot and cold, to verify the water supply is off.) Open a sink faucet
in the bathroom in which you are installing the ShowerSpa to relieve any pressure and help
adequately drain the shower supply lines.
