3.
Include cross members to provide support for top and bottom
of mounting box. Orient bottom cross member with 4" nominal
or 6" nominal dimension vertical to allow hot and cold supplies
to pass behind cross member and into mounting box.
This product is designed to use 1/2" copper tubing at
2-1/4" (5.7cm) center-to-center for hot and cold supply. If neces-
sary, convert from pipe to copper tubing at floor level.
Centerline of risers must be 3-1/8" (7.9cm) back from out-
side surface of finish wall. Verify compliance with this distance be-
fore completing finished wall.
4.
See Fig. #4 . Using 1/2" copper tubing and thread adapters,
install risers at 2-1/4" (5.7cm) center-to-center to extend
38-7/16" (97.6cm) up from floor [risers must extend 7"
(17.8cm) into the mounting box after any trimming, if capped].
5.
Use one-hole electricians straps to secure risers to cross
member, as installation with 2-1/4" (5.7cm) centers will not
allow enough clearance for traditional two-hole plumbing
straps.
6.
Pressure test the water supply lines before completing
finished wall.
7.
Flush the water supply lines to remove debris.
