INSPECTION GUIDELINES

Carefully check the unit upon receipt. Notify your supplier immediately if any questions or problems are encountered during this process.

DO NOT INSTALL PRODUCT WITHOUT FIRST ADDRESSING

QUESTIONS WHICH ARISE DURING THE INSPECTION!

Basic Module Checkl Check unit drain position for match to

bathroom drain location.l Check unit for surface damage.l Check unit color for coordination to other

bathroomfixtures.l Checkunitforspecifiedoptionalitems

and/or packages.

INSTALLATION SITE FRAMING

The recommended framing and dimensional requirements shown are for a traditional application and may vary, based on site requirements.

The dimensions shown in the dimensional diagram(s) are from the surfaces where the unit will be attached (illust 1). This surface can be bare studding, dry wall or other suit-able under layment material. It is important thatthefloorandallframingbesquareandlevel. Framing must be done using accepted materials and construction techniques in ac-cordance with all applicable codes for the site.

NOTE: Any pre-constructed wall(s) may requiremodificationoradditionalframingtoallowforfactoryappliedpipesand/orfittingswhich may protrude from the body of the unit.

Confirm drain fitting and drain pipe alignment prior to application

of leveling material in the alcove.
