D. STUD POCKET PREPARATION
Refer to the Roughing-In section beginning on
Page 4. Measure the exact outside dimension of the
bath from the two front edges of the nailing flange. This
should be close to 60”. Size the stud pocket accordingly.
NOTE: The stud pocket must fit the width of the unit
exactly. The bath is shipped with a spacer bar to prevent
spreading or squeezing of the door opening. This would
affect the proper function of the inflatable seal and door.
Construct a recess designed for your particular
installation. Install stud pocket headers.
Construct the required access panel according to
Roughing-In section beginning on Page 4.
Design of the bath will allow for up to 1/2” of finish floor
material if the bath is installed to the subfloor. For thicker
flooring, raise bath with plywood underlayment to
compensate. This is necessary to allow clearance for
apron removal.
