F. STUD POCKET PREPARATION
Construct a minimum 2x4 recess designed for your
particular installation. Make sure you allow for access to
the pump in the event the unit requires service. When
constructing the framing, allow for the thickness of sub
and finish wall materials.
The unit should be installed as a recess installation. The
variety of installations possible with this unit may require
framing other than described in this manual.
1. Construct a recess with a header that is square
vertically and horizontally in accordance with
roughing-in dimensions for the unit. Do not nail
header with 2x2 brace to stud frame until after
the module is positioned in the recess. Install a
2x2 brace and toe plate around the recess opening.
2. If extra grab bars are specified: Provide 2x6
bridging or attachment at specified positions. Refer
to the grab bar manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: A 5” diameter opening in the floor should be
provided to permit drain connection clearance.
