C. CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
Check the roughing-in and room dimensions to provide
adequate available space for the bath unit.
Your new acrylic module is too large to fit through a
standard door opening. The unit must be placed within
the installation area prior to completion of framing. An
optional procedure is to omit studs in one wall or to install
studs without nailing, to allow moving the unit in place.
When moving the unit, avoid flexing the side walls
or top to prevent radius cracking. No additional
support under the basin area is required when unit
is securely nailed into the recess.
NOTICE: Make sure the unit is within the installation
area before final framing is completed. The unit will not
fit through a standard door opening.
D. NEW OR REPLACEMENT INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
This unit can be installed in new or existing bathrooms.
For new installations: Position the plumbing according
to the roughing-in on Page 4. Cap the supplies, and
check for leaks.
For replacement installations: Remove the old bath.
Remove the old wall material, and remove any old floor
covering from the area. Remove any old plumbing that
does not conform to roughing-in requirements.
