Diagrama de instalación (cont.)
postes de madera y la unidad. Si se requiere una pared resistente al fuego, las
dimensiones del diagrama de instalación deberán aumentar según el grosor del
material resistente al fuego. Las dimensiones de abertura entre los postes se deben
medir por el lado expuesto del material de la pared. Las dimensiones del diagrama
de instalación son cruciales para una correcta instalación. Construya la estructura y
coloque las tuberías con precisión.
En caso de instalar una puerta de ducha con esta bañera, consulte las instrucciones de
instalación del fabricante de la puerta para cualquier consideración especial de la

Construct the Framing
NOTE: Refer to the "Roughing-In" section for dimensions.
Framing Provisions
WARNING: Risk of product and property damage. The bath must be supported
by the subfloor.
A subfloor must be installed. The bath must be positioned to allow clearance for
drainage through the floor joists or slab and to allow convenient plumbing
installation.
If installing this unit with a shower door, refer to the shower door manufacturer's
instructions for any special framing considerations. It may be appropriate to add
studs for pivot shower door support.
Studs must be positioned roughly as shown in the "Roughing-In" section to
properly fasten the walls. Other stud locations are optional except for those which
must meet the load-bearing requirements of local building codes. Studs must also
allow for the installation of plumbing fittings and any shower door. Locate the
shower door studs as required by the shower door manufacturer.
NOTE: If the wall surrounds will be installed to a masonry wall, make provisions for
plumbing connections. For the plumbing end wall, construct a separate frame wall a
minimum of 6" (15.2 cm) from the masonry wall. For the remaining walls, use 2x2
furring strips to provide stud locations.
Make sure the outer stud is correctly positioned with the vertical wall flanges. The
outer edge of the stud should align with the edge of the wall flange. 7115 series
should be 33-1/4" (84.5 cm) from the back wall. 7114 and 7124 series should be
31-1/4" (79.4 cm) from the back wall. 7116 series should be 37-1/4" (94.6 cm) from
the back wall.
NOTICE: Accessories that require backing or support are not recommended for this
installation. Installing these accessories could void the warranty.
Ensure fiber or other soft insulation does not drop down into the water channel.
Cover or seal any loose material. Failure to do so may cause wicking of water
from the water channel into the insulation which may induce mold, leakage, or
mildew. Ensure the channels are free of debris after installation.
For Above-the-Floor Drain Baths
Ensure the drain piping can pass through the wall and that the load bearing
requirements of the wall are satisfied. Modify the framing or raise the subfloor as
required to obtain clearance.
Construct 2x4 stud framing for your particular installation according to the
"Roughing-In" section.
