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, 6”
on center. The height of the stub-outs is completely dependent upon the desired mounting
height of the Kapalani
®
Showerspa. For a person 5’8” – 6’2” we recommend the stub-outs be
39” from finished floor height. 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 bracket making sure the bracket is level. For
a person 5’8” – 6’2” tall, we recommend 43½” from finished floor height 2 . Before drilling
holes for the bracket, make certain the Showerspa will rest flat against the 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 to avoid cracking
and chipping. Insert anchors and securely screw bracket to the wall. Before connecting supply
lines, mount the Showerspa on the wall, checking the height, and making sure the Showerspa
feels secure.
5. Insert mounting brackets into slide track, place track into desired position and mark the hole
locations (2). Drill ¼” holes, insert anchors, place adjusting (oblong) inserts into mounting
brackets and screw to wall. Snap trim covers over mounting brackets.
6. 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.
7. 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, personal preference, etc.).
