Installation Instructions
NOTE: INSTALLATION OF THESE SHOWER UNITS MAY
BE SUBJECT TO CODE APPROVAL. Refer to job prints
and/or consult with architect to see if your installation must
comply with ADA.
These shower units install differently from typical residential
showers. Installation may need to conform to requirements
of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and other
local codes. These requirements relate to the height of the
threshold in relation to the nished oor. Certain showers
will install directly on the sub oor and others will require a
recess or pit. These showers require special preparation of
the installation site, and very specic installation procedures
to assure the shower drains properly and meets code
requirements.

STORAGE & HANDLING
Do not store units out of doors.- Keep out of
sunlight and exposure to weather.
1. Most handling damage is the result of impact blows to the
back side of the shower units.
2. Stress cracks can develop when shipping boards are
removed before unit is positioned for nal installation in
bathroom.
3. Placing objects inside of tub can cause scratches, abrasions
or nicks to the nished surface.
4. Storing units outside right-side up can cause the sunlight
to discolor the acrylic nish. Also, unit becomes unstable and
is easily knocked over by wind or bumping.
5. The back side of the shower unit is not waterproof. Unit
must be stored so that water will drain off of unit and not
accumulate in any one spot. Water can permeate the back
laminates and soak the glassed in wood supports causing
bulges in the nished surface.
6. Never drag these units on any surface. Always transport
the unit by hand using (2) people or a two-wheel dolly.
7. Never let these units drop from any height, not even an
inch.
