PLEASE READ ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION.
PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING
1. Review job print and Aquatic rough-in dimensions; verify all key dimensions against actual job conditions. MUST INSURE ROUGH
DIMENSIONS ARE PROPER AND SQUARE.
2. Locate studs as required and in remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a vertical nailing surface for the side
nailing flanges of the Aquatic fixture.
3. Make sure framed-in framing pocket is of proper size, square and plumb; check floor for level. Some shimming between the stud
frame and fixture may be required.
4. DO NOT install the product over open floor joist. Product should not require any additional support if the subfloor is square and
level with framing. Shimming or foundation material may be required for additional support, if subfloor is uneven.
5. If fire-rated framing pocket is required, approved finish material must be in place prior to unit installation to meet fire safety
requirements of local building code and/or FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards.
NOTE: Finished framing pocket must have interior dimensions shown on rough-in diagram to permit installation of unit.
6. Foundation material is not required.
7. Provide 6” (150mm) floor opening for 2” (50mm) IPS and drain connection.
8. To ensure proper installation of the fixture, all local plumbing and building codes must be observed. Local building codes vary by
location and you are responsible for insuring plumbing is complete and to code.
9. To avoid obstruction, make sure that supply lines and valve plumbing do not project into framing pocket during the installation
process. Also, drain pipe must not project above floor level prior to installation.
10. On inside of plumbing wet wall of unit, note location of supply elbow and mixer valve. (See “Tub and Shower Mounted Fittings”
below.)
11. To prevent scuffing while installing unit, cover the floor of the unit with a piece of cardboard or other protective material.
12. Fasteners for:
Wood framing – 1 1⁄2
concrete nails and nailing tool.

13. If installing shower door refer to the shower door manufacturers installation instructions for any special considerations.
14. NOTE: Where local codes specify minimum door openings, shower stalls may require swing doors. (Sliding doors may not
provide a wide enough opening.)
