The shower seat is a corner mount design that can add comfort and convenience to your shower. It is designed to coordinate with Swanstone tub & shower walls, floors, and accessories. The molded run-off channel means water will not pool on top of the seat. Caulking Tips Follow the instructions on the caulking tube.
Installation Procedure 2. Use 2-1/2” to 3” long #12 drywall screws to attach the 2 x 6 supports to the stud wall, as shown. b. Using the mounting bracket as a template, position the bolt holes over the line and mark the bolt hole locations. Be sure that the mounting bracket is snug against the corner before marking the holes.
Installation Procedure 4. Drill six pilot holes at the marked locations, using the 3/16” drill bit. Drill through the wall panel and into the 2 x 6 inch support block installed earlier. CAUTION The locking tabs on the underside of the Swanstone seat must engage behind the stainless steel bracket to prevent the seat from moving away from the wall. Do not apply adhesive until you have trial fit the seat and made sure the locking tabs fully engage.

Use a coarse grit (60 grit) sandpaper when sanding the seat. 9. Set the shower seat into place. a.
