for specific floor loading requirements.
Make sure the flooring offers adequate support for your bath, and verify that the subfloor is flat and
level.

Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in information. Cap the supplies and check for
leaks.
Unless the bath is elevated for an above-floor drain installation, a hole will need to be cut to
accommodate the drain connections. Refer to the roughing-in information.
