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 unit framing 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.
An optional unit cap is available for
selected shower models, which will require
the construction of a header for proper unit
installation. The header is only required for
units using a cap.
WARNING!
IF AN OPTIONAL UNIT CAP IS USED,
THE CAP MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE
UNIT BEFORE IT IS PLACED IN THE
ALCOVE!

Installation Procedure

With the unit positioned in the framed area,
several details must be checked prior to
securing the unit in place. (Figures 2a, 2b)
