These instructions are for installing the lavatory to wood frame
construction. For other installations, supply suitable bracing and
fastening devices of sufficient size and strength.
The walls and floor must be square, plumb, and level.
If possible, assemble the drain to the lavatory before installing the
lavatory.

1. Preparation
Existing Construction
Remove the existing finished wall and wallboard materials from a
36″(91.4 cm) (H) x 24″(61 cm) (W) area at the installation
location. Make sure the existing framing is sound and secure.
Repair as needed.
New Construction
Use 2x4 lumber to construct suitable stud framing for the
installation.
Poured Concrete Construction
Measure, level, and draw a pencil line across the concrete surface
at a height of 30-3/4″(78.1 cm) from the finished floor. Mark two
bolt hole locations 7-7/16″(18.9 cm) apart on the pencil line.
Drill 3/8″(1 cm) holes in the concrete at the marked locations.
Install the concrete anchors included.
Continue to the “Install the Lavatory” section.

2. Construct the Supports
NOTE: The following steps assume 2x4 stud framing is nominal
3-1/2″(8.9 cm) x 1-1/2″(3.8 cm). Make appropriate rip cut
modifications as necessary for other sized lumber.
Cut two 2x4 support studs to 36″(91.4 cm). Rip cut these support
studs so they are 2-3/4″(7 cm) deep.
Measure and cut a 1-1/2″(3.8 cm) x 9-1/4″(23.5 cm) notch in
each support stud so the bottom of the notch is 23-7/8″(60.6 cm)
from the bottom of each support stud.
Position the support studs so a 3/4″(1.9 cm) offset exists between
the front edge of the stud framing and the support studs.
Use nails or screws (not provided) of sufficient size and quantity,
and securely fasten the support studs to the stud framing. Space
the fasteners carefully in rows, and include a row to within 1″
(2.5 cm) of both the top and bottom of the notch.
Measure and cut a piece of 2x10 to fit securely into the notch in
the support studs. Cut the 2x10 so it extends to both stud frame
sections, as shown. Temporarily fit the 2x10 into the notch.

Construct the Supports (cont.)
Measure and cut the 3/4″plywood to 36″(91.4 cm) (H) and rip to
the length of the 2x10, ensuring the plywood will sit flush with
the existing studs. Temporarily fit the plywood over the 2x10.
Measure, level, and draw a pencil line across the plywood with a
pencil at a height of 30-3/4″(78.1 cm) from the finished floor.
Mark two bolt hole locations 7-7/16″(18.9 cm) apart on the pencil
line.
Use a 1/2″drill to carefully drill through the plywood and 2x10
at the marked bolt hole locations.
Remove the plywood and 2x10 from the support studs
Fit the threaded inserts into the bolt holes in the 2x10 from the
front. Assemble the fender washers to the bolts, and thread the
bolts into the threaded inserts from the back. Securely wrench
tighten the bolts to the threaded inserts.
Fit the 2x10 assembly into the notches in the support studs so the
bolt shanks face outward. Use minimum 2-1/2″(6.4 cm) wood
screws (not provided) to secure the 2x10 to the support studs. Use
four wood screws in each end, and space the screws no more
than 2-1/2″(6.4 cm) apart.
Use wood screws (not provided) of sufficient size and quantity to
securely fasten the plywood to the support studs, ensuring that
the bolt shanks pass through the holes in the plywood.
Install the water supply and drain lines.
Install the wallboard and finished wall materials according to the
established installation procedures.
