Jacuzzi Faucet Kit is a versatile and durable addition to any bathroom. It features a Water Rainbow fill spout and faucet handles, allowing you to customize your bathing experience. The kit includes everything you need for installation, including mounting hardware and a cartridge valve wrench.

The Water Rainbow fill spout provides a gentle, cascading flow of water, making it ideal for filling your bath or rinsing off. The faucet handles are easy to operate, even with wet hands, and the adjustable temperature control lets you find the perfect water temperature.

The Jacuzzi Faucet Kit is made from high-quality materials and is built to last. It is also easy to clean and maintain, making it a great choice for busy families.

The Water Rainbow ﬁ ll spout/faucet kit is designed

for installation on most Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath

products or on any bath having sufﬁ cient rim space

for mounting. The installation procedure requires

drilling holes in the bath shell, mounting ﬁ ttings,

and making the proper water supply connections

to the faucet valves and ﬁ ll spout. Hole drilling

templates and instructions are provided here for

this purpose.

Contents of Kit: Water Rainbow ﬁ ll spout as-

sembly, faucet handles with inserts--hot (red dot)

and cold (blue dot), faucet valve assembly (2),

1/4-20 x 1-1/2" hex bolt with/washer and locknut

(2), 1-1/2" diameter. push-on speednut (2), faucet

handle gasket (2), #10-24 x 3/8" PHPM screw (2),

cartridge valve wrench with instructions.

Preparation

Locate the area on the bath or spa rim where

the Water Rainbow and faucet valves are to be

installed. For separated valve installations, refer to

illustrations B and G; for paired valve installations,

refer to illustrations C and H.

For installation on all baths, locate the Water Rain-

bow ﬁ ll spout and valves on a level surface which

will allow water to clear the rim and ﬂ ow directly into

the bath (see illustration A). Also be certain the ﬁ ll

spout has easy access and that there is adequate

space for plumbing connections to the ﬁ ll spout,

both before and after installation. (Refer to plumb-

ing instructions regarding top access installation,

illustration M.)

Dry ﬁ t the Water Rainbow ﬁ ll spout and valves in

the desired area (before drilling holes) to be sure

the location is appropriate.

Drilling Holes

Detach the templates (on back page) and tape

them onto the acrylic surface of the bath rim, lo-

cating the center lines of the ﬁ ll spout and valve

holes according to appropriate dimensions given

in Illustration B or C.

Note: To insure template has been printed to

scale, measure the 2 1/2" spacing from center

Fill Spout mark and 9/32" hole mark for the 1/4

- 20 Hex Bolt anchors.

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions before beginning installation. Consult local codes for requirements.

Using a scribe tool or awl, mark the center points

for all holes, then remove the template.

Drill holes from the ﬁ nished surface side of the

unit carefully, being sure they are the proper size.

We recommend that you drill pilot holes and then

use the recommended drill size. For best results,

begin drilling at slow speed, then use high speed.

Appropriate sizes of hole saws will be needed for

this.

Clean up dust particles using a soft cloth damp-

ened with water or isopropyl alcohol and discard

the cloth.

Mounting the Fill Spout

Apply a 3/16" bead of silicone sealant (not pro-

vided) on the shell surface around the holes just

drilled in the shell. (See illustration D.)

Align the ﬁ ll spout holes with the holes just drilled

and insert the threaded pipe extension through

the shell.

Fully install the 1/4-20 hex nuts onto the 1/4-20 x

1-1/2" hex bolts provided, then install the large ﬂ at

washer onto the bolts. Insert the bolts through the

shell (from under the rim) and into the brass inserts

in the ﬁ ll spout body. Finger tighten the hex nuts

against the washer, then tighten until snug using

a 7/16" wrench. Do not over tighten. Refer to

illustration D.

Remove excess sealant using damp cloth.

Mounting the Valves

Apply a 1/8" bead of silicone sealant (not provided)

around each hole on the rim surface. Insert each

faucet valve assembly through the holes, aligning

the ribs on each valve body with the notches in the

holes. (See illustration E.) Using a piece of 2" I.D.

x 3" L PVC piping (if available), push the speednut

over the tubing and onto the valve body (while

continuing to hold the valve body at the top) until

the speednut is in full contact with the underside

of the shell. (See illustration F.)

Operation

Check for proper operation of the ﬁ ll spout. Always

ﬁ ll the bath with a mixture of hot and cold water. Wa-

ter temperatures in excess of 140° F may damage

the ﬁ ll spout and/or discolor the bath's surface.

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 ﬁ ll spout per

illustration G or H. Use Teﬂ on tape or thread seal-

ant designed for use on plastics. Do not use oil

base thread compounds.

For bath ﬁ ll 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 ﬁ xture to allow for

any possible water leakage through the air vent.

The valve must be exposed and have access for

service.

Installing the Faucet Handles

Install the rubber gasket into the faucet handle

aligning the ﬂ at of the gasket with the projection

from the handle, then aligning the ﬂ at surface on the

stem with the ﬂ at inside handle, place the handle

onto the stem of the faucet valve.

Insert the #10-24 x 3/8" L stainless steel PHPM

screw (provided) through the handle and gasket

into the valve stem and tighten.

Rotate handles clockwise to the end of travel.

Push in inserts with dots oriented toward the outer

edge of the bath rim, red dot indicating hot water

and blue dot indicating cold water. The notch in

the insert must align with the ribs on the inside of

the handles for ﬂ ush engagement. (See illustra-

tion I.)

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.
