Framing Requirements
Due to individual site variations, exact
guidelines for every situation cannot be
supplied. The recommended framing and
dimensional requirements shown are
for a typical application and may vary,
depending on site requirements.
The dimensions shown in Figure 1 are from
the surfaces where the unit will be attached.
This surface can be bare studding, dry wall
or other suitable underlayment material. It
is important that the floor and all framing
be square and level. Framing should
be done using accepted materials and
construction techniques, in accordance
with all applicable codes.
NOTE: It is advisable to have the unit on
site during the early stages of framing.
NOTE: Any preconstructed wall may
require modifications or additional framing
members to allow for pipes or fittings which
protrude from the unit on whirlpool equipped
models, for proper unit installation.
NOTE: A separate pump access may be
required for whirlpool equipped models,
in addition to the removable apron panel.
Check local codes for the installation site.
WARNING!
IF AN OPTIONAL UNIT CAP IS USED,
THE CAP MUST BE INSTALLED ON
THE UNIT BEFORE IT IS PLACED IN
THE ALCOVE!
