<p>A method of making a partition for a prefabricated framed wall to be mounted into a building structure under construction has several steps: cutting at least one hole through each 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 pipes between the frame studs; and inserting either a sanitary tee or a waste pipe connector or a heating/cooling duct through the holes in the bottom frame plate so that they depend therebelow. The sanitary tees connect below a bathroom floor to either a toilet fixture or a bathtub or a shower. The waste pipe connectors are connected below a floor to either a kitchen sink, a dishwasher, a laundry basin, or a clothes washer. The heating/cooling duct connects either below the bathroom floor or above the bathroom ceiling to either a heater or an air conditioner. At least one electrical conduct may be installed between the plurality of frame studs. Removable protective boxes or blocks are secured to an underside of the bottom frame plate so that the partition is ready to be shipped without damage to either the sanitary tees, the waste pipe connectors, or the heating/cooling ducts all of which depend below the bottom frame plate. The partition made by the method includes: a plurality of frame studs having at least one hole cut therethrough; a top frame plate having at least one hole cut therethrough; a bottom frame plate having at least one hole cut therethrough; plumbing pipes installed between the frame studs; and either sanitary tees or waste pipe connectors or heating/cooling ducts inserted through the holes for connection therebelow.</p> |
