Installation Guide

4. Install the Finished Wall
Install the water-resistant wall board.
Cut out a 4-1/8″ (105 mm) round hole, centered on the pipe
nipple at each desired installation location.
Install the finished wall material.
5. Install the Pipe Nipple
Remove the nipple.
NOTE: The minimum distance between the face of the tee/elbow
and the surface of the finished wall should be 2-1/4″ (57 mm). The
measurement for typical installations is 2-7/8″ (73 mm).
Measure the distance from the face of the tee/elbow to the
surface of the finished wall. Make any adjustments as needed.
If your measurement is between 2-1/4″ (57 mm) and 2-3/4″ (70
mm): Use a close pipe nipple.
If your measurement is between 2-3/4″ (70 mm) and 3-1/4″ (83
mm): Use a 1-1/2″ pipe nipple.
Thread the nipple into the tee/elbow and hand tighten.
Measure the distance from the end of the nipple to the surface of
the finished wall. Verify that the distance is at least 1-1/2″ (38
mm) and no more than 2″ (51 mm).
Remove the nipple.
