Plumbing Access Considerations

NOTE: Because this is a one-piece unit, the drain and overflow connections cannot be made by reaching
over the end of the bath. Before installation, provide access to all the connections. Please consider the
following factors.
Confirm adequate mounting and connection space for the faucet specified for your installation.
If the unit is installed on a slab at a corner of the outside walls: Make connections to the
accessible end, or provide access to the plumbing connections.
If the unit is installed on a slab back-to-back against the outside walls: Plan to use adequate
access to the plumbing connections.
If wood partition construction (multiple-unit installations): At least one unit should have access
through which the other unit may be accessed.
In masonry or fire-rated partitions: Provide access to plumbing connections. Construct a separate
wall at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the masonry wall. Install furring when the back of the unit is against
the masonry wall.
Units installed on a slab in a cluster of four, back-to-back, end-to-end (multiple-unit
installations): Should be planned with a plumbing wall which provides sufficient clearance for
access through the plumbing wall from the accessible end.
When the unit is installed where the drain connections are accessible from below: Connections
can be easily made from underneath the unit.
