1. Framing Preparation

NOTE: Carefully study the roughing-in pages and the illustration above before you construct the framing.
Follow the framing details carefully.
IMPORTANT! The stud supports must be within 3/8" (1cm) of plumb. The door enclosure is designed to
fit the footbath. Proper door enclosure assembly and operation depends upon installation of the footbath
against square and plumb studding.
Use 2x4 framing. Choose a preferred side for installing the pump and provide sufficient access
accordingly. Refer to the roughing-in information for further details.
The distance from the rough floor to the finished ceiling or header must be between 83-1/2"
(212.1cm) and 84" (213.4cm) to provide adequate clearance when assembling the door enclosure to
the footbath.
Make sure the ceiling and header are level.
Provide double stud support for the door enclosure wall jambs. You must secure the door enclosure
wall jams directly to the studs to obtain proper support and correct opening dimensions. Expanding
wall anchors will not provide adequate support for the door enclosure assembly.
The stud supports must be plumb for proper door operation. Maintain a maximum tolerance of
3/8" (1cm) to ensure a satisfactory, watertight installation.
The footbath requires no additional bottom support when the rough floor is plumb and level with
respect to the stud framing. If the rough floor is not level, shim as needed.
IMPORTANT! Leave studs exposed. You must secure the door enclosure wall jambs directly to the studs.
Do not install the finished wall material until instructed.
If you plan to install grab bars or other accessories, provide sufficient backing.
