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 and the
table are from the surfaces where the unit
will be attached.
RECESS INSTALLATION
See Figure 2
This diagram illustrates a typical
installation for showers that NO RECESS
NECESSARY have vertical thresholds 3/4”
to 2” high. The recess allows the shower to
be installed below the finished floor level.
The recess is deep enough so the shower
threshold will be at the acceptable height
above the finished floor. An alternative to
the recessed installation is to either build
up the entire room floor to be even with the
top of the threshold, or to construct a ramp
to the shower entry.
NO RECESS INSTALLATION
See Figure 3
This diagram illustrates a typical installation
for showers that do not require recessed
installation to comply with ADA guidelines.
This style shower is illustrated in Figure 2.
They are for 36” x 36” inside dimension
showers with vertical thresholds no higher
than 1/2”.
No recess necessary
