16. OPTIONAL K-1507 APRON INSTALLATION
NOTE: For use with
NOTICE: Before installing the optional
Apron: verify that both the finished floor and the bath rim are level (and therefore parallel to each other). This is necessary to ensure proper fit and appearance of the apron. This apron should be installed after the finished wall material is applied.
On one of the pieces of vinyl extrusion, use a hacksaw and trim away or notch about 1” (25 mm) of the top end rigid portion, leaving the flexible portion fully intact. Repeat operation for the extrusion which will be installed on opposite side of the apron. This procedure will provide a better fit upon final installation.
Install the vinyl extrusions on the right and left side of the apron.
Cut a 4’ length (approx.) of 2 x 2 batten board. Position the board on the floor so that it will be centered between the right and left sides of the apron, parallel with the bath rim (apron side), and
Remove the mating half of each velcro strip from the bottom of the apron. Staple the velcro strips to the front face of the 2 x 2 board.
Carefully insert the top lip of the apron into the extrusions on the underside of the bath rim. Press the base of the apron securely onto the velcro strips of the 2 x 2 board.
NOTE: The apron is removable to allow limited ser- vice access, if required.
