D. PLUMBING ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS
Because this is a one-piece unit, the drain and overflow
connections cannot be made by reaching over the end
of the bath. Before installation, provide access to all
connections. Please consider the following factors.
1. If the unit is installed on a slab at a corner of the
outside walls: Make connections to the
accessible end, or provide access to the plumbing
connections.
2. If the unit is installed on a slab back-to-back
against the outside walls: Plan to use adequate
access to the plumbing connections.
3. In wood partition construction (multiple-unit
installations): At least one unit should have
access through which the other unit may be
accessed.
4. In masonry or fire-rated partitions: Provide
access to plumbing connections.
5. Units installed on slab in a cluster of four,
back-to-back, end-to-end (multiple-unit
installations): Should be planned with a plumbing
wall which provides sufficient clearance for access
through plumbing wall from the accessible end.
6. When unit is installed where drain connections
are accessible from below: Connections can be
easily made from underneath the unit.
E. OTHER INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. When fire wall is specified, it should be in place
before you install the unit.
2. If unit is to be installed adjacent to a vertical duct or
chase, fire-rated gypsum drywall should surround
the unit.
