1. Prepare the Recess
NOTE: Be sure to provide adequate backing for the fasteners.
Determine the desired ″A″dimension, as shown in the
roughing-in. Add 17″(432 mm) to the ″A″dimension chosen. The
overall inside height dimension produced from this calculation is
needed in the next step.
Prepare a stud framing box at the chosen installation site. The
inside dimensions of the framed box must be 13″(330 mm) wide
by 23″(584 mm) high. The distance between the top inside of the
box and the floor must be the dimension previously calculated.
Rough-in the supply and drain piping according to the
roughing-in.
Provide adequate backing for the fasteners.
Prepare and drill the stud framing for the cuspidor supply tube.
Route the cuspidor supply tube through the stud framing so that
the ground-joint fitting is on the drinking fountain side.
Position the cuspidor supply tube so that it protrudes evenly
from both ends of the stud framing.
