Before You Begin

- Leave the packaging material in place until you begin installation.
- Be sure you have sufficient access to move the module into the construction area.
- Avoid flexing the side walls to prevent damage to the module.
- Insulate all exterior walls before installation.
- When fire-rated wall is specified, the stud opening dimensions are to the inside of the wallboard.
- If the module will be installed adjacent to the vertical ducts or chases, surround the unit with fire-rated gypsum
wallboard.
- The basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is level and square with respect to the stud framing.
Consider using shims for additional support if the subfloor is uneven.
- Protect the module floor during installation.
- Consult all applicable instructions for accessories and shower doors before beginning this installation.
- Install K-9459 Sonata Accessory Kit before installing the module.
- Provide access to all plumbing connections. This is a one-piece module, and you cannot make the drain and overflow
connections by reaching over the end of the module.
