Coring Holes for Shower Head & Valves-
 Use the Bella Core Valve Wall “Measurement Data Sheet” (MDS) to acquire all of the important
measurements needed and transfer those to tap on the surface of the panel(s).
**Always double check the hardware prior to cutting any holes**
 You can use a Jigsaw in cutting out the shower head, tub spout or shower valve holes, start by
drilling a pilot hole with a drill bit inside the cutout area and then use the jigsaw to follow the
cutout lines.
You can also use a core bit or a recessed hole saw that will attach to your drill, make sure to
start on the line at a slight angle and then slowly level out the core bit to the face of the panel
and plunge slowly (pic. 2.7). Most core bits are 1 3/8” in diameter and most escutcheon plates
for the shower head & tub spouts are 2 ¼” in diameter so you have some play on the cutout and
most shower valves have a 7 ¼” cover plate.
