1. Prepare the Site
Install the water supplies and drain piping according to the
roughing-in information. Install the supply stops so the handles
will not touch the shroud when fully open.
Install sufficient backing behind the finished wall to provide a
secure material for the hanger bracket and angle brackets.
Install the finished wall.
On the finished wall, draw a vertical centerline that is plumb and
that runs through the drain outlet location.
Use the ADA/TAS chart and roughing-in diagram on the
previous pages to determine the hanger bracket centerline.
Measure from the floor and mark the hanger bracket centerline.
Use a level to draw a horizontal line at the marked location.
Center the hanger bracket against the wall and mark the outer
slots on the horizontal line.
Use lag bolts (not provided) to install the hanger bracket to the
wall. Make sure the hanger bracket is level and is secured to the
backing material behind the finished wall.
