I am finishing off a basement where the builder has the bathroom roughed in. I question the dimensions and would like others to review them for me. There are four stubs in the concrete floor. One is directly up against a block foundation wall which is to be the vanity drain. The toilet stub is away from the same block foundation wall 16". The tub enclosure stub (in an 8x16 hole) is 60" from the same block foundation wall. And the fourth stub is alongside the tub stub and is the vent pipe. I question the dimension of the tub enclosure wall, I think it is too close. I want to add a stud wall in front of the block foundation wall. The vanity and toilet allow for a 4" stud wall, but I don't think the tub enclosure stub does. My tub enclosure directions call for the stub to be 2" from the edge, which would make the dimension to the other end 58". This is a standard 60" enclosure. That only leaves 2" for the stud wall. A 2" wall doesn't leave me enough space to run the vent pipes down. Would I have to offset the wall, 4" by the vanity and toilet and 2" by the tub? The wall for the other side of the room can be positioned anywhere. Also, the tub stub is 17" from the perpendicular wall. Or should I opt for a 57" tub enclosure? Give me your ideas. Thanks. You may respond here or email me direct.
