5. Choose either the right or
left side panel, whichever
DOES NOT require plumbing.
Each side panel has three wall
mounting knobs which inter-
lock with the companion fac-
tory installed wall mounting
clip. The side panel must be
positioned so that the wall
mounting knobs slide into,
and interlock with, the wall
mounting clips. To accommo-
date this initial fit, raise the
side panel approximately one
to two inches above the back
panel.
6. Locate the side panel into
the receiving channel and
slide side panel down.
7. The wall mounting knobs
of the side panel will interlock
with the wall mounting clips
of the back panel.
8. The lower outside edge of
the side panel must fit flush
against the top ledge of the
bathtub. The upper inside fit
of side panel to back wall
must also be flush. It may be
necessary to remove the nail
which was bent over the back
wall flange for temporary sup-
port.
9. Measure location of plumb-
ing outlets (valves, tub spout,
and shower arm) from a line
straight up from front edge of
tub and height above top
ledge of the bathtub. We sug-
gest that you make a tem-
plate from cardboard to help
position your side panel over
plumbing outlets. Transfer
measurements to panel.

drywall screws to secure side panels to the studs.
T
o achiev

hole through the horizontal flange on back wall. Secure back
panel with drywall screws.
Care and Cleaning
This pr
oduct is made of
V
eritek, a Natural Gloss Composite.
Finish is stain resistant; however, the finish requires reasonable
care. Wash regularly with warm water; use soft cloth with mild
liquid deter
gent such as
T
op Job, Ajax Liquid Cleaner, or
Mr. Clean All-Purpose Cleaner. Remove hard water stains or
mineral build up with scale removers such as Lime-Away. Never
use abrasiv
e scouring po
w
ders, cleaners or pads. They will dull
the finish. Protect finish with any fiberglass wax or automotive
paste wax.
