dimensions against actual job conditions.

vertical nailing surface for the side nailing flanges of bath fixture 
product.
3.   Make sure framed-in framing pocket is of proper size, square and 
plumb; check floor for level. Some shimming between the stud 
frame and fixture may be required.

shown on rough-in diagram to permit installation of unit.

plumbing do not project into framing pocket during the installation 
process.
