ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a prefabricated framed wall to be mounted in a floor of a building structure under construction has several steps: cutting at least one hole through all but one of a plurality of frame studs, a top frame plate, and a bottom frame plate; aligning the plurality of frame studs; securing tops of the frame studs to the top frame plate; securing bottoms of the frame studs to the bottom frame plate; installing plumbing and other pipes between the frame studs; and inserting at least one sanitary tee through the hole in the bottom frame plate so that it depends therebelow. The one sanitary tee connects below the floor to either a bathtub or a shower. An underfloor drain line is connected to at least one fixture, such as a bathtub/shower, a toilet and a lavatory. This underfloor drain line may be inserted either below the bottom frame plate outside the framed wall or near to but below the top frame plate inside the framed wall. Removable protective boxes or blocks are secured to an underside of the bottom frame plate so that the framed wall is ready to be shipped without damage. Both embodiments of the framed wall made by the method include: a plurality of frame studs having at least one hole cut through all but one stud thereof; a top frame plate; a bottom frame plate having at least one hole cut therethrough; plumbing and other pipes installed between the frame studs; and underfloor drain line; and at least one sanitary tee inserted through the hole in the bottom frame plate for connection therebelow.
