Undermount
2. Construct the Stud Framing
NOTICE: Provide unrestricted service access to the pump, in-line heater, adjustable feet, and control box.
You must construct an access panel to provide sufficient clearance for servicing the pump, in-line heater,
and control box.
Construct stud framing designed for your particular installation. The overflowing bath can be
installed in a deck, undermount, or alcove installation.
Frame the floor, or construct a frame for a raised installation in accordance with the roughing-in
information.
When constructing the framing, allow for the thickness of sub and finished deck materials.
Framing should be of 2x4 construction.
For undermount installation, allow for the thickness of the planned deck material, and provide
proper support.
Do not support the bath by the rim.
When planning the stud framing, take into account the required 2" (5.1 cm) air gap between the end
of the fill spout and the top of the bathing well rim. Take into account the thickness of your planned
finished deck material, and construct the framing and deck material with this minimum air gap in
mind.
