D. PLUMBING ACCESS CONSIDERATIONS

Because this is a one-piece unit, the drain and overflow connections cannot be made by reaching over the end of the bath. Before installation, provide access to all connections. Please consider the following factors.

1.If the unit is installed on a slab at a corner of the outside walls: Make connections to the accessible end, or provide access to the plumbing connections.

2.If the unit is installed on a slab back-to-back against the outside walls: Plan to use adequate access to the plumbing connections.

3.In wood partition construction (multiple-unit installations): At least one unit should have access through which the other unit may be accessed.

4.In masonry or fire-rated partitions: Provide access to plumbing connections.

5.Units installed on slab in a cluster of four,

back-to-back, end-to-end (multiple-unit installations): Should be planned with a plumbing wall which provides sufficient clearance for access through plumbing wall from the accessible end.

6.When unit is installed where drain connections are accessible from below: Connections can be easily made from underneath the unit.

E.OTHER INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

1.When fire wall is specified, it should be in place before you install the unit.

2.If unit is to be installed adjacent to a vertical duct or chase, fire-rated gypsum drywall should surround the unit.
