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).
NOTE: For Fold Over Edge installations, use ONLY 2x4’s as stringers and stringer supports.
E.) Install drain components onto the bath following the manufacturer's instructions. See the roughing-in drawing for
suggested opening size and location dimensions.
FOR FOLD OVER EDGE INSTALLATION ONLY:
NOTE: Add additional stringer and stringer support studs as shown in Fig. 4.
D.) Add front left and right side stringer supports as shown in Fig. 4. Ensure front and side stringers sit completely on top of the
2x4 stringer support on both left and right side. Add additional front support studs between front leveling stringer and lower
2x4 support as shown in Fig. 4 and 5.
