Prepare the Site (cont.)
If apron flanges are not going to be used or are broken, install three evenly
distributed 2x4 blocks just behind the apron location. The blocks will prevent the
apron from being damaged and may be used to secure the apron behind the
baseboard. Measure the bath for the required clearance behind the apron and for
the location of the blocks.
For Baths without Wall Surrounds
Provide the necessary backing or support between the studs for shelving, grab
bars, towel bars or other accessories. Refer to the accessory manufacturer's
instructions for proper installation.
For Baths with Wall Surrounds
For installation to masonry walls: Make provisions for plumbing connections. For
the plumbing end wall, construct a separate frame wall a minimum of 6" (15.2 cm)
from the masonry wall. For the remaining walls, use 2x2 furring strips to provide
stud locations.
Ensure that the outer stud is positioned with the vertical wall flanges 43-1/2"
(110.5 cm) from the back wall. The outer edge of the stud should align with the
edge of the wall flange.
Ensure fiber or other soft insulation does not drop down into the water channel.
Cover or seal any loose material. Failure to do so may cause wicking of water
from the water channel into the insulation which may induce mold, leakage, or
mildew. Ensure the channels are free of debris after installation.
For Baths with Above-the-Floor Drain
Ensure the drain piping can pass through the wall and that the load bearing
requirements of the wall are satisfied. Modify the framing or raise the subfloor as
required to obtain clearance.
For All Installations
Construct 2x4 stud framing for your particular installation according to the
"Roughing-In" section.
Ensure that the framing for each stud is plumb and square within 1/8" (3 mm).
Shimming will be required if tolerances are not met.
If possible, construct an access panel in the plumbing end wall to simplify future
maintenance of all plumbing connections.
