DC25959. How do I install the tub?

My LG washers tub became loose and when I took it apart the spider arm on the tub was corroded and broken this holds the tub straight and it is mounted on spring for vibration. The tub was damaged but repairable and I installed a new tub seal

You may not need to install a vent, it depends upon how far the tub is from the main drain. I suggest you check with a licensed plumber.

You can get the manual on the link below.

Good Luck

Hello Joe, Typically when you have a whirlpool type tub, there is either a built-in air switch on the tub that will turn the tub motor, on and off, or the tub needs to have a wall switch to turn it on and off.

The switch has to be located so it is at least a minimum distance of 3-4 feet from the edge of either a tub or shower stall, and it must be connected to a GFCI protected circuit. Normally any whirlpool tub requires a separate dedicated 20 Amp 120 Volt AC circuit for proper operation and to meet code.

I believe that the female plug is for an optional, in-line heater that can be installed into the tub unit. You should be able to check the installation manual that came with the tub to verify the proper wiring required for your specific unit and model.

I would contact the manufacturer to get a copy of the installation guide and instructions for your model, so you are certain that it is properly installed and the wiring you are using meet the NEC (National Electric Code).

Here is a link to the Mansfield web site with some FAQ's and their phone contact information.

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

Tub overflows are not required in all states but I highly recommend drilling the hole and installing the proper waste and overflow drain I recommend the Gerber brand and also when you set the tub you need to set it in a light concrete for stability I use great stuff foam for setting tubs 2 cans spray on floor and set and level tub tub will never wobble or move

hey bill no easy way what we do is measure height of edge that will sit on stud and tack stud in tub area and dry fit tub.when you do that you can see how much space is under tub for your mortor you should use light weight cement called structolite its white and not as heavy and yes a piece of tar or resin paper is a good idea

Your sheet rock will go to the top of the lip of the tub and then your tile will overlap this lip. If it isn't done right, your grout will crack if you are tiling.

fill the tub one third full with water you must be able to access the under side of the tub cut hole in drywall if possible spray two large cans of sprayfoam allow 5 hours for foam to set and drain water. problem fixed.
