INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS:
A.) Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are
proper, plumb, and square (Fig. 1). It is strongly recommended
that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain
components.
B.) Mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a
line onto the studs at the height indicated, using a level or other
suitable straight edge (Fig. 2).
C.) With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach
the stringer to the studs (Fig. 3).

A.) Position the bath within the recess
until the rim is leveled against the
leveling stringers. The rim of the bath
MUST NOT support weight.
B.) Check level front to back and side to
side, shim as necessary. To secure the
tub to wood studs, use drywall screws
with flatwashers or roofing nails
immediately above the flange of the bath.
To secure the tub to steel studs, use 4"
(102mm) drywall screws and flatwashers.
(see Fig. 4)
C.) Any finish material such as tile or
wallboard must be self-supporting if it
contacts the deck of the bath. Flooring
will be butted against the bottom of the
tub apron, also holding the tub in place.
