Install Bathtub Alcove Wall Kit
Preparation
1. Remove the bathtub and alcove wall kit from the
protective shipping cartons and inspect them for
damage. Check and make sure all the required
components are included in the cartons.
To prevent unnecessary delays, before starting the
installation, refer to the Kit Contents section to verify the
contents of the carton are correct.
2. Allow the Swan Corporation products to adjust to
room temperature for at least six hours before
installation. The alcove wall panels should be
installed at temperatures not less than 65°F.
For remodeling, upon removal of the old bathtub,
measure the alcove pocket to be sure that the new
bathtub and alcove wall panel kit will fit in the available
space. It may be necessary to reconstruct one or more
walls of the alcove.
If the alcove wall kit is to be installed over new or existing
drywall (not recommended), allow for thickness of the
drywall when building or modifying stud pocket walls.
