Installation Guide

Side Panels
Most side panels are designed to fit a certain way.
Check for identification tags on the back of panels
and/or bullnose edges, which align with the front edge of
the bathtub, shower floor, or apron strips, if installed.
1. Measure the openings for faucet(s), bathtub spout,
and/or shower head. Measure the height up from
the ledge of the bathtub or shower floor ledge.
Measure in from a straight line drawn up from the
front edge of the bathtub, shower floor, or apron strip
(trial fit apron strips when taking measurements).
2. Use the measurements to make a cardboard
template in order to check for proper fit around
plumbing outlets. Trial fit the cardboard template,
and adjust as necessary.
3. Transfer the template measurements to the side
panel to be installed over the plumbing outlets.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swan
Corporation product, use a dust
collection method which prevents dust
particles from going into the air. Always work in a well-
ventilated area. To keep the area well-ventilated, open
windows and use exhaust fans. Always use an OSHA
approved dust mask when cutting, drilling, or sanding
Swan Corporation products.
Any cutout should have rounded corners (sharp corners
can promote stress cracks).
4. Cut clearance holes using a router, saber saw, or
hole saw. Drill or cut holes 1/2 inch larger than the
diameter of the plumbing outlets from the finished
side of the panel. For best results, place a scrap of
wood beneath the hole to ensure a clean cut.
