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.
