Caution: This new fixture has a durable finish; however,
extra care should be exercised during installation,
when rough handling and dropped tools may cause damage.
1. Inspect product, and if necessary, report damage to the distributor, requesting their advice on how to proceed.
2. Protect the shower pan during installation and construction by using this corrugated container as indicated. Cut
along the dotted lines and place the cut out corrugated protector into the center of the shower pan.
3. Measure product dimensions, and then frame construction area to suit, using 2x4 stringers to support the
perimeter.
4. Test-fit the product in position, checking for level front to back and left to right, as well as alignment of plumbing
attachments. If necessary, use small shims in conjunction with the support pad, to achieve good level.
5. Once fit, level, and aligned, use roofing nails or drywall screws with washers just above the tile flange, securing
