INSTALLATION
•
A stud MUST be located and used for at least one side of the diaper changing station.
•
The diaper changing station is no stronger than the anchors or walls to which they are attached and, therefore, MUST be
secured in order to support the weight they are intended
to support. Contact an architect or building contractor
if any questions.
