2. Roughing-In Dimensions

IMPORTANT! All dimensions are nominal. The stud opening tolerance is plus 1/4″ (6 mm) and minus 0.

Carefully measure your ﬁxture before determining enclosure size. When a ﬁre rated wall is speciﬁed,

dimensions are to the inside of the wall board. Some shimming between the stud frame and the ﬁxture

may be required. Dimensions given in the roughing-in information are crucial for proper installation.

Construct the framing and plumbing accurately.

NOTE: If a ﬁrewall is required, roughing-in dimensions will have to increase according to the thickness of

the ﬁrewall material. Stud opening dimensions must be measured toward the exposed side of the wall

material.

NOTE: If installing this unit to a masonry wall, make provisions for plumbing connections. Construct a

separate frame wall a minimum of 6″ (15.2 cm) from the masonry wall.

3. Construct the Stud Framing

If you will be installing a shower door with this unit, refer to the shower door installation

instructions for any special framing considerations.

The apron of the receptor should be ﬂush with the ends of the stud wall.

Provide double-stud support for the shower door wall jambs. Expanding wall anchors will not

provide adequate support for the shower door assembly.

The double-stud wall-jamb supports must be square and plumb for proper shower door installation.

Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing for one side and back wall according to the roughing-in

information.

If grab bars are to be installed, provide 2x6 bridging or attachment at speciﬁed positions. Refer to

the grab bar manufacturer’s instructions.

The basin area requires no additional support when the subﬂoor is plumb and level with respect to

the stud framing. If the subﬂoor is not level, shimming may be required to level the unit.
