Installation Guide

Preparation
1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the piece
count with the packing slip. After opening all boxes, read this introduction carefully. Check that all of
the necessary parts are included in the package by checking off the components on the “Parts List”. If
the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer
support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLine
®
will
not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the
product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLine
®
if you have any questions, and please
provide an order number, job name or other proof of purchase to help identify the original order.
2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation
compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine
®
is
not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any returns
on this basis.
3. Be sure there is adequate space to install the unit. The ideal installation height for the overhead
shower head should be approximately 18” above the person showering.
4. If this unit is going to be installed in new construction, please install all of the required plumbing
before installing the shower panel. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for
all plumbing installations. If this shower panel is replacing an existing shower panel, your connections
may be the same. If you need new connections, the wall may have to be opened in order to install
necessary plumbing and connections.
5. Please make sure the wall will be able to support the total weight of the unit (approx. 25 lbs.). Also
make sure the wall is plumb. Irregular installation surface levels will result in problems with your
installation. Note that some adjustments and drilling will be necessary during the installation process.
6. This unit must be installed upon a finished wall.
7. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Leave protective packaging in
place until ready for installation.
8. This model requires that you drill into the wall for proper installation.
9. Professional installation recommended. The installation of this product requires two installers.
NOTE: To prevent scalding, source water temperature should never be set above 120˚ F / 48˚ C.
NOTE: Be sure all water is turned off to the shower before beginning installation.
NOTE:
The supply lines for this unit should be flushed prior to final installation to prevent
any debris from getting into the unit. The mixing valve can be adversely affected by dirt or
debris. Be sure to check all hose connections before operating unit.
NOTE: Retain these installation instructions for future reference.
