A. Pre-Installation Planning

1. Make sure framed-in pocket is of proper size per

Aquatic dimensions, square, and plumb; check

floor for levelness.

2. If fire rated walls are required inside the pocket,

approved materials must be in place prior to unit

installation. NOTE: Finished pocket must have

interior dimensions shown on framing diagrams

to permit installation.

3. If a shower door is to be installed, measure

enclosure opening after unit installation and before

ordering. NOTE: Where local codes specify

minimum door openings, showers may require

swing [not sliding] doors.

4. If a bath light is to be installed, cut out required area

in flat portion in center of the dome. Use a fine-tooth

or abrasive-grit blade. Cut from inside of dome.

Light fixture must have UL label and be water-

and steam-tight.

5. Foundation materials are recommended. Shimming

may be needed to level unit and for additional

support.

the 2” (50) IPS stub-up waste pipe and shower drain

fitting for shower stalls. [Fig. 1]

studs for flush mounting, or triple 2” x 4” (50 x 100)

studs for recessed mounting. [Fig. 2]

3. The six 1” x 2” x 24” (25 x 50 x 610) mounting

plates installed on the front corner posts are

interrupted twice on each side by the base/wall

and wall/dome fastening flanges. Header plate

is one piece. [Fig. 1]

4. To avoid obstruction, make sure that shower elbow

and mixer valve stem are not protruding into the

pocket.

5. On the outside of the plumbing endwall of the unit,

mark location of the shower arm and mixer valve

per the suggested dimensions shown in Fig. 3.

Double check locations of marks and drill

/4” (5)

pilot holes.

6. From the inside of the unit, use proper size hole

saws with fine-tooth or abrasive-grit cutting edge, cut

holes for plumbing fixtures.

7. Fasten shower drain fitting at this time.

to it unfastened.

11. Place dome section on top of wall section [and repeat

step 9].

umns with 5 ft. (1585) straight edge and fasten all
