Framing Considerations — All Installations
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. When planning the framing for the height
of the bath, take into consideration the height of the bath with the feet. Do not
support the bath by the framing or bath rim.
When planning the framing, take into consideration the thickness of the
water-resistant deck material and finished material.
If a deck-mount faucet and valving are planned, ensure that adequate space is
available for their installation.
An access panel is recommended to simplify future maintenance to plumbing.
Framing Considerations — Drop-In Installations
NOTICE: To ensure the bath rim running the length of the bath will be used as
intended:
Ensure a 1/16" (2 mm) gap will exist between the finished material and the
underside of the bath rim. The recommended finished deck height from the
underside of the bath rim to the subfloor is 15-7/16" (39.2 cm).
Allow a minimum of 2" (5.1 cm) of clearance between the edge of the bath rim
and the finished wall.
Prepare the Site
NOTICE: It is critical that the bath be installed on a subfloor that is level and will
support 61 lbs/square foot (296 kg/square meter) loading.
Install a level subfloor. Adjust for level, if necessary.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing designed for your particular installation. Refer
to the roughing-in information packed with the bath for dimensions.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies
and check for leaks.
