Construct the Framing

NOTE:

Refer to the

″Roughing-In″ section for dimensions.

Framing Provisions

WARNING: Risk of product and property damage.

The bath must be supported

by the subfloor.

The bath with apron must be attached to the studs on three sides.
Install the subfloor (required). The bath must be positioned to allow clearance for

drainage through the floor joists or slab and to allow convenient plumbing

installation.
Studs must be positioned roughly as shown in the

″Roughing-In″ section to

properly fasten installation clips and secure the wall flange. Other stud locations

are optional except for those which must meet the load bearing requirements of

local building codes. Studs must also allow for the installation of plumbing fittings

and any shower door. Locate the shower door studs as required by the shower

door manufacturer.

NOTE:

If the wall surrounds will be installed to a masonry wall, make provisions for

plumbing connections. For the plumbing end wall, construct a separate frame wall a

minimum of 6

″ (15.2 cm) from the masonry wall. For the remaining walls, use 2x2

furring strips to provide stud locations.

Make sure the outer stud is correctly positioned with the vertical wall flanges. The

outer edge of the stud should align with the edge of the wall flange. 7114 and

7124 series

should be 31-1/4

″ (79.4 cm) from the back wall. 7115 series should be

33-1/4

″ (84.5 cm) from the back wall.

NOTICE:

Accessories that require backing or support are not recommended for this

installation. Installing these accessories could void the warranty.

Ensure fiber or other soft insulation does not drop down into the water channel.

Cover or seal any loose material. Failure to do so may cause wicking of water

from the water channel into the insulation which may induce mold, leakage, or

mildew. Ensure the channels are free of debris after installation.

For Above-the-Floor Drain Baths

Ensure the drain piping can pass through the wall and that the load bearing

requirements of the wall are satisfied. Modify the framing or raise the subfloor as

required to obtain clearance.

Construct 2x4 stud framing for your particular installation according to the

″Roughing-In″ section.
Ensure that the framing for each stud is plumb and square within 1/8

″ (3 mm).

Shimming will be required if tolerances are not met.
If possible, construct an access panel in the plumbing end wall to simplify future

maintenance of all plumbing connections.
