Check flooring under the bath and repair if necessary.
Make sure that the subfloor is level. Seal subfloor to

C. STUD POCKET PREPARATION

event the unit requires service. When constructing
framing allow for thickness of sub and finished wall
materials.
If an apron wall without a ledge is desired, the finished
apron wall surface must be 1/32” under the bath rim.
Bath can be installed in a corner. Recess, peninsular or
sunken installation is also possible. Possible studding
arrangements are illustrated in 1. through 2. below;
modifications may be needed for other types of
construction.

refer to Roughing-In notes located in Roughing-In
section beginning on page 5 for cut-out detail. Make
sure the bath is supported by the supporting blocks
at the bottom of the bath.
