1.To locate the drilling template, place it over the bath. The template should be against the bath flange edge and template corner 'A' should be at the bath's corner. (See Illustration 9.)
Note: If bath has been installed with finish materials over bath flange, trim an amount off the template along the bath flange edge equal to the thickness of mortar and finish materials. (See Illustration 9A.)
2.The inner orange circle should be centered over the circular opening of the bathtub. (See Illustration 9.) The edge marked “BATH FLANGE EDGE” must be parallel with the back wall. With the template lying flat, tape firmly to eliminate any shifting.
3Using a sharp center punch, lightly tap through the template hole center location marks onto the bath surface. Remove the template.
4.Drill two (3) 9/32" diameter holes for the tower and five (5) 3/16" holes for the bottom rail. (Do not drill through the template.)
IMPORTANT: THE HOLES MUST BE DRILLED AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE TO INSURE PROPER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE SHOWER DOOR.
