3. Construct the Stud Framing
If you will be installing a shower door with this unit, refer to the shower door installation
instructions for any special framing considerations.
Construct 2x4 or 2x6 stud framing for one side and back wall according to the roughing-in
information.
Make sure the headers are level and square.
If necessary, leave one of the stud recess walls loose until you move the module into position. Once
the module is in place, the wall can be secured permanently to the stud framing.
If grab bars are to be installed, provide 2x6 bridging or attachment at specified positions. Refer to
the grab bar manufacturer's instructions.
The basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is plumb and level with respect to
the stud framing. If the subfloor is not level, shimming may be required to level the unit.

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.
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.
