showers are ideal for an experienced "DIYer". Please read through this entire installation

guide before beginning your installation. If you feel you can not confidently install this shower by yourself

hire a licensed contractor, handyman, or professional installer that can do it for you. Installation time may

vary depending on your experience, complexity of shower, and "Pre-Install Prep Work" which may

include: plumbing and/or drain relocation, bathroom demolition, and squaring up studs and floor.

Watch our Installation and Product Videos on americanbathfactory.com/pages/videos

Prior to demolition, scheduling your installer, or building your shower, double check that you have all the

parts from the factory. Some applications may require a licensed plumber or contractor. Do not use any

product spec sheets to begin installation before receiving product. These spec sheets are for reference

only. Use actual product measurements only. The diagrams throughout this guide illustrate a 48" x 36"

shower with a hinged door. Depending on the size of the shower purchased, actual parts may vary in size

from the diagrams shown.

Our goal is to help you achieve a quick and successful shower installation.
