1. Construct the Stud Framing
NOTE: Check the dimensions of the showerhead trim ring if possible. If the diameter of the trim ring
exceeds 2-1/8" (5.4 cm), then mount the shower arm above the shower wall in an appropriate spot.
The showerhead may be installed in the shower wall or above the shower wall. Take into account
the height of the shower users when determining the installation location. The dimensions provided
are for a shower wall installation only.
Construct the framing according to the roughing-in and framing diagrams.
NOTE: If the framing is different from that shown, additional bracing may be required to ensure proper
wall adhesion.
Add any bridging or support needed if you are installing grab bars or towel bars. Refer to the
accessory manufacturer's instructions.
Add 2x4 bridging between the studs nearest to the front edges of the receptor on each wall at a
center height of 5" (12.7 cm). The receptor nailing flange will attach to the bridging and studs.
Cut a 2x4 ledger board to 34" (86.4 cm) long and cut a second 2x4 ledger board to 32-1/2" (82.6 cm)
long.
The top of the ledger boards should be 4-3/8" (11.1 cm) above the subfloor. Attach the ledger boards
to the studs to provide rim support. Attach the 34" (86.4 cm) board first, then the shorter board so it
butts against the first board.
The plumbing may be installed in the shower wall or above the shower wall. The supplied
dimensions should be used on either wall.
If the unit is installed against a masonry wall, use furring strips to secure the unit. The furring strip
configuration should match the stud configuration shown.
