Installation Instructions

Gelcoat & Solid Surface Bathware

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.

QUESTIONS? Please phone 800.443.7269 for additional

information.

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
