F. STUD POCKET PREPARATION
Construct a minimum 2x4 recess designed for your
particular installation. Make sure you allow for access to
the pump in the event the unit requires service. When
constructing the framing, allow for the thickness of sub
and finish wall materials.
The unit should be installed as a recess installation. The
variety of installations possible with this unit may require
framing other than described in this manual.
1.
Construct a recess with a header that is square
vertically and horizontally in accordance with
roughing-in dimensions for the unit. Do not nail
header with 2x2 brace to stud frame until after
the module is positioned in the recess. Install a
2x2 brace and toe plate around the recess opening.
2.
If extra grab bars are specified: Provide 2x6
bridging or attachment at specified positions. Refer
to the grab bar manufacturer's instructions.
Cut a 5" diameter hole in the floor at the drain location.
G. PLUMBING PREPARATION
Position the plumbing according to the roughing-in
dimensions. Cap the supplies, and check for leaks.

6. MODULE SEPARATION

Multi-piece modules are shipped assembled, and must
be separated for transportation into the installation area
and for application of sealant.
Prepare the floor or other level surface to set the module
sections on, preferably on a cloth or soft padding to
protect the joining surfaces.
Slide the alignment clips above the section joint, but do
not remove the clips completely.
Remove all nuts, washers, and bolts from the mounting
blocks, and set them aside for future use.
Carefully remove the module top section by lifting
straight up until it is free from the bottom section. Set the
top section on the prepared, level surface.
Carefully move the sections to the installation area,
setting them again on a prepared, level surface, (this is
a two-man job).
It is helpful to have all seam surfaces accessible for the
following steps.
