2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
IMPORTANT The shower base or bath must be in place before the shower walls can be installed. Make sure that these
fixtures are installed correctly and are level. Please cover the | CARDBOARD |
| ||
fixtures with plastic or cardboard to prevent damage during | FRONT EDGE | |||
TEMPLATE | ||||
installation. Allow 1/8" gap per width of panel for expansion. | OF TEMPLATE | |||
|
| |||
|
| FRONT EDGE | ||
This applies especially to applications where both vertical |
|
| ||
|
| OF PANEL | ||
sides are restricted, such as between end walls. Also, allow |
|
|
| |
1/16" to 1/8" space at the bottom between the panels and |
|
| (PANEL SHOWN | |
the bath or shower base. |
|
| ON BACKSIDE) | |
|

HOLE LOCATIONS FOR FIXTURES:
1.Turn off hot and cold supplies remove existing handles, escutcheons and shower head & arm.
2. Cut a template from the shipping carton the width & length of | BOTTOM EDGE |
the side panel, mark the template "front". See Fig. 1. | OF PANEL |
|
3. Draw a vertical line from the top corner of the bath or |
|
|
| ||
shower base using a level to 1" below the ceiling. |

4. Measure the centers of the shower head pipe |
|
|
|
| |
and faucet valve stem(s) as referenced from the |
|
|
|
| |
top of the mounting surface shim (made from |
|
|
|
| |
narrow wooden strips or plastic) and the vertical |
|
|
|
| |
line made in step no. 3. |
|
|
|
| |
5. Transfer these hole locations to the cardboard |
|
|
|
| |
template and cut holes in the template large |
|
|
|
| |
enough to fit over the faucet valve stem(s) and |
|
| PENCIL |
| |
the shower pipe. |

6. Place the template on the wall and align the front |
|
|
|
| |
edge with the pencil line scribed from step no. 3. |
|
|
|
| |
Check for accuracy of the holes. If a hole is off, |
|
|
|
| |
place masking tape over the incorrect hole and |
|
|
|
| |
spot the new, correct center. Mark the front of |
|
|
|
| |
the template (side facing you) for later | 1/16" TO |
| 1/16" TO |
| |
identification. |

7. Place the side wall on the floor with the grooves |
| ||||
|
| ||||
|
|
|
| ||
facing toward the floor and place front of the |
| FIG.2 |
|
| |
template on top (facing down). See Fig. 1 Make |
|
|
| ||
|
|
|
| ||
sure the front of the template is lined up with the |
|
|
|
| |
front edge of the panel, and the bottom corresponds to the top of the |
|
|
| ||
shower base. Line up the front and bottom edges and mark the hole |
|
|
| ||
centers on the shower wall with a grease pencil. |
|
|
|
| |
8. Drill holes in the panel. Using a carbide hole saw, drill holes of sufficient |
|
|
| ||
size to allow for clearance of stems and valves, and to allow for future |
|
|
| ||
servicing of these components. Make sure that the holes can be covered |
|
|
| ||
by the escutcheon. Drill holes from the backside of the panel to avoid |
|
|
| ||
chipping the front surface. |
|
|
|
| |
9. After drilling the holes, dry fit the panel against the wall and check for |
| FRONT |
