Framing Requirements
Due to individual site variations, exact
guidelines for every situation cannot be
supplied. The recommended framing and
dimensional requirements shown are
for a typical application and may vary,
depending on site requirements.
The dimensions shown in Figure 1 are from
the surfaces where the unit will be attached.
This surface can be bare studding, dry wall
or other suitable underlayment material. It
is important that the floor and all framing be
square and level. Framing should be done
using accepted materials and construction
techniques, in accordance with all applicable
codes.
NOTE:
It is advisable to have the unit on
site during the early stages of framing.
NOTE:
Any preconstructed wall may require
modifications or additional framing members
to allow for pipes or fittings which protrude
from the unit on whirlpool equipped models,
for proper unit installation.
NOTE: A pump access is MANDATORY
on all whirlpool equipped models.
Additional access areas may be necessary
to comply with code requirements. Figure 1.
Installation Procedure
With the unit positioned in the alcove, several
details must be checked prior to securing the
unit in place (Figures 2a & 2b);
ü
Confirm unit apron is resting flush on the
floor.
ü
Confirm drain position.
ü
Confirm the unit is level along each side
and each end.
ü
Confirm the unit is square in the alcove
framework.
ü
Confirm the front inside corner is plumb
at each end. (This is critical for the
proper installation of an enclosure)
ON WHIRLPOOL EQUIPPED UNIT
ü
Check for required modifications to
framing due to whirlpool components.
The unit must be positioned square in
the alcove framework. The use of shim
or filler material behind the fastening
flange at each framing member may
be required to maintain the unit in the
proper position.
If the unit is a whirlpool with an alternate
pump mounting, refer to the special
alternate pump location supplement at
this time.
