3. Construct the Stud Framing
4. Install the Plumbing
NOTE: Provide access to all plumbing connections to simplify future maintenance.
Locate rough plumbing for the drain according to the correct model's roughing-in dimensions.
NOTE: If plumbing is to be installed on the unfinished stud wall, install the supplies after the module is
installed.
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies and check for
leaks.
Install a drain pipe according to the roughing-in information.
Strap the supply connections to the stud framing.
If possible, provide an access at the back of the plumbing wall for servicing the supply and waste
piping.
Install the shower valving according to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install the trim at
this time.
5. Prepare the Module
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. If a watertight seal on the drain is not obtained, water damage
to the subfloor may occur.
Install the drain to the module according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: To enhance the finished appearance of the tile-wall module designs, pay special attention to the
placement of the exposed plumbing fittings. Try to position the valving and shower fittings where they
will complement the tile-wall appearance of the module.
Layout and mark the location of the mixing valve, shower, and the bath spout holes on the back
surface of the module wall.
NOTE: A template can be used for multiple installations if the supply fittings have been located accurately
during rough fitting. Make a pilot hole template of lightweight plywood. Use the template to mark fitting
locations on the back side of the module.
Drill 1/4" (6 mm) pilot holes at the marked locations.
Clean the module to reduce the risk of surface damage.
Place a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom of the module.
