D. STUD POCKET PREPARATION
Refer to Roughing-In section beginning on page 4.
Measure the exact outside dimension of the bath from
the two front edges of the nailing flange. This should be
close to 60”. Size the stud pocket accordingly.
NOTE: The stud pocket must fit the width of the unit
exactly. The bath is shipped with a spacer bar to pre-
vent spreading or squeezing of the door opening.
This would affect the proper function of the inflat-
able seal.
Construct a recess designed for your particular
installation. Install stud pocket headers.
Construct the required access panel according to
Roughing-In section beginning on page 4.
Design of bath will allow for up to 1/2” of finish floor
material if the bath is installed to the subfloor. For thicker
flooring, raise bath with plywood underlayment to
compensate. This is necessary to allow clearance for
apron removal.
