Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT

•Allow panels to reach room temperature before installation.

•Before you begin, locate appropriate product reference (see page 1).

•Read installation instructions carefully before starting project.

•Keep instructions for warranty information.

•Caulk will be necessary when installing bathtub walls.

STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE

•Strip alcove to the bare studs. It may be necessary to add a stud at each front corner to provide attachment for side panels as shown in appropriate stud layout on page 1.

•Check that there are no screws, nails or staples in the studs which would interfere with the tub or wall installation.

•If installing over existing tub, check that studs are plumb to the tub, then go to Step 3.

•For new construction, place studs as shown in appropriate stud layout on page 1.

•Check that the sub floor for the tub is level and studs are plumb to the sub floor. (Fig. 1)

STEP 2. TUB INSTALLATION

• Follow Manufacturer’s instructions for installing your tub.

IMPORTANT: Tub must be plumb and square to alcove for proper wall installation.

STEP 3. TRIAL FITTING PANELS

•Place back panel first then fit side panels by aligning pins on side panels with slots on back panel. (Fig. 2)

•The stud on each side of the back panel should contact the entire length of the back panel. (Fig. 3)

•If the studs and back panel do not contact correctly you will need to shim for support.

•Center assembled wall on tub. Make sure panels are resting flat on tub.

•Align the front of the side walls and the front of the tub. This makes drywall installation easier.

•If necessary, shim between wall panels and studs to provide a tight fit between the back and side panels. (Fig. 4)

•Measure and mark all control holes. After removing side panels, drill or saw necessary holes.

IMPORTANT: Drill or saw holes from the front side. Cover area to be cut with

masking tape to prevent chipping and scratching.

•Mark the height of the wall on each stud to indicate where to apply adhesive on the stud. (Fig. 5)
