1INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS:
A.) Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb, and square. It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components.
Illustration 1
Each alcove stud must be plumb and square.
B.) As shown in ILL. 2, 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.
C.) With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.

A.) THIS BATH MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM. We recommend the use of mortar as bedding material (sand is not recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete bottom of the bath. After the bedding has been poured, and before it sets, position the bath within the recess until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below. The rim of the bath MUST NOT support weight. Allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the rim or bottom of the bath.
