1.
Review job print and Aquatic rough-in dimensions; verify all key
dimensions against actual job conditions.
2.
In remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a
vertical nailing surface for the side nailing flanges of bath fixture
product.
3.
Make sure framed-in framing pocket is of proper size, square and
plumb; check floor for level. Some shimming between the stud
frame and fixture may be required.
4.
If fire-rated framing pocket is required, approved finish material
must be in place prior to unit installation to meet fire safety
requirements of local building code and/or FHA/HUD Minimum
Property Standards.
NOTE: Finished framing pocket must have interior dimensions
shown on rough-in diagram to permit installation of unit.
5.
Industrial plaster, mortar mix or non shrink grout (herein referred
to as foundation materials) is strongly recommended for firmer
bottom support and is mandatory in all commercial structures (i.e.,
hotels, motels, dormitories, healthclubs, etc.).
6.
DO NOT install the product over open floor joist. Shimming and/
or foundation material may be required for additional support, if
subfloor is uneven.

and drain connection for shower, or a 6” x 12” floor opening
for tub.
8.
Make sure all plumbing is complete and to code.
9.
To avoid obstruction, make sure that supply lines and valve
plumbing do not project into framing pocket during the installation
process.
10.
On inside of plumbing wet wall of unit, note location of supply
elbow and mixer valve. (See “Shower Mounted Fittings” below.)
11.

Wood framing – 1 1/2” galvanized roofing nails or #10 x 1
1/2” self-tapping washer head screws.
Concrete or block walls – 1” concrete nails and nailing tool.

installation instructions for any special considerations.
