Installation for Top Access

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 fl exibility in the piping so it can
be pulled up through the rim. Use a compression
fi tting or union at the connection of the pipe exten-
sion to allow disconnection without rotating the fi ll
spout. If a compression fi tting 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.)

To remove the fi ll spout from the top of the bath,

fi rst pry off the cover. Do not use sharp tools!
Then remove the two larger screws and pull the
spout up.

Faucet Valve Replacement

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, fi rst turn off the water
supply, then pry the insert from the square handle.
Next, remove the Phillips screw securing the handle
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.
