Installation Guide

1. Remove wall section(s) from the base unit. Carefully move all parts into the installation

area. Apply a bead of silicone to all joints. Reinstall wall sections. Align all parts, and connect

using the alignment pins. Wipe away any excess caulk that squeezes out. The unit will be

installed in the framed alcove as a one-piece unit. The unit must be installed completely

level.

Alternate Connection: If installing piece by piece into the alcove, make sure that the pins

are aligned correctly. When the caulking cures the parts are solidly held similar to the one

piece when attached to the framing. See Photo1. The valve wall should be the rst wall

sections installed.

2. Drain and/or Overow assembly should be installed on unit according to the

manufacturer’s instructions. Apply a bead of 100% silicone caulk around the drain opening in

unit before installing the tting.

3. Locate supply lines for control valves and shower head. Measure and mark locations of

ttings on the nished side of the unit. Recheck locations, and drill 1/4" pilot holes. Cut holes

to nal size using the appropriate size hole saw.

4. Apply wood wedges to the alcove oor. Carry unit to the opening. Align front of apron

to nal location and tilt unit into place. Make certain that the wood shims contact both the

bathing unit and sub oor. Remove and adjust wedges if necessary to assure proper contact

for support.

It is MANDATORY that these wedges are in place and in proper contact to assure structural

integrity of the bathing unit.

5. Plumb and level the unit in two directions: Place a level on top of the apron, and along

the nished at area at the top of the wall. Once the unit is leveled, if any gap appears

between the apron and sub oor ll the gap with solid material. When satised with the t,

attach the unit to framing with 6d galvanized nails or screws through the pre-drilled holes in

the mounting anges. If required, drill additional holes through the anges in order to attach

the unit to each stud.

6. Make connections to supply and drain lines. Strap all lines to the framing. Install nish trim.

Caulk as necessary.

7. Check for leaks before installing wall-board and closing off plumbing access.

8. Finish wall board as detailed in Figure 2.
