f. seat must be mounted so that it is level in all directions and remains in a 90° orientation to the legs
g. seat must be mounted to substantial, well-secured blocking, usually of 2× solid wood (toenailing is not sufficient;
use cleats or notch blocking into studs, and fasten with screws), though brick, concrete, or concrete
block are also be suitable mounting materials (use suitable anchors)
h. #10 round head fasteners recommended (do not use flat head type fasteners); use stainless steel fasteners in
wet area installations; each fastener must be capable of withstanding 77 lbs. of pull-out force; the length of
fasteners will depend on the distance to drive them deeply into an appropriately reinforced material capable

i. fine height adjustment allows compensation for slope of floor (+⁄- 1/2″ range of adjustability)
j. the fine height adjustment hex nut must be checked regularly to ensure that it is tight; a loose nut on the
fine height adjustment will allow the leg height to change, which will alter the orientation of the seat to the
legs, potentially affecting the performance, integrity, and durability of the shower seat
