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 according to the roughing-in information for your particular
model.
Do not install the header and right side of the front frame until the module has been moved into
place.
Nail in a 1x2 brace around the recess opening.
Verify that the framing is square and plumb.
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.
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.
