GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION ...

1. When installing the coordinating bath walls (2946BW series for example), additional studs may be required.

Refer to those installation instructions prior to installing tub.

2. Bath walls are to be installed over stud walls.

3. Bath may only be installed in a recess type installation.

4. It is recommended that the 2946 Studio Tub be set in a small bed of mortar or grout to copensate for uneven floors.

Stringers will help level tub, but will not provide adequate support.

5. Take extra care when driving nails or screws to avoid damaging the tub.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS:

A.) Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb, and square. It is strongly recommended that

an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components.

B.) As shown in ILLUSTRATION. 2, mark the position of the underside of the deck by tracing a line onto the studs at the height

indicated, using a level or other suitable straight edge.

C.) With the top of the stringer touching the traced line, attach the stringer to the studs.

D.) Install drain components to the bath following the manufacturer's instructions. See the roughing-in drawing for

suggested opening size and location dimensions.
