STEP 4. BACK OR BODY SPRAY INSTALLATION
A.Attach the pins to the wall, (5) per side.
B.Temporarily place wall in position on the base and against the corner stud wall.
C.Temporarily place the shelf wall and seat wall in position by engaging the pins and holes.
D.Line up system walls and base at the front. Shim the back or body spray wall top flange if necessary.
E.Remove all walls. Hook up plumbing from transfer valve to body spray plumbing.
F.Place a 1/4" bead of caulking at the bottom of the shower base flange where the wall will sit.
G.Place a 1/4" to 1/2" bead of construction adhesive on each stud where the back surface of the panel stiffen- ers will make contact.
H.Place the wall in position on the shower base. Secure the top flange to the stud wall using #6 drywall screws. The wall must remain seated and flush on the shower base to ensure a matching joint to the sidewall.
I.Secure the two side flanges to the side stud walls using #6 drywall screws. Shim between the flange and studs as required to maintain plumb walls.

STEP 5. SEAT WALL INSTALLATION
A.Temporarily place the seat wall in position resting the seat wall on the base. Make certain the wall and base are in line at the front notch. Remove the seat wall.
C.Mark valve locations on the back side of the panel if there is access. Remove the shelf wall and drill faucet/ plumbing access holes as required. If there is no access for marking from behind, measure locations of the valves and transfer dimensions to wall before drilling. Protect the wall surface with masking tape to prevent scratching the wall panel before drilling.
D.After faucet/plumbing access hole(s) are complete, repeat
C.Apply a 1/4" bead of sealant to each vertical edge and around each pin of the back wall. Apply a 1/4" bead of sealant to the shower base edge where the seat wall will rest.
D.Place a 1/4" to 1/2" bead of construction adhesive at each stud where the back surface of the panel stiffen- ers will make contact.
E. Place a 1/2" bead of construction adhesive at 1" centers as shown.
F.Place the seat wall in position on the pins of the body spray wall and against the side stud wall. Secure the top flange to the stud wall using #6 drywall screws. The seat wall must remain seated flush on the shower base to ensure a matching joint to the back wall. Shim top as required to keep the panel square and perpen- dicular. Secure the front flanges to the side stud wall using #6 drywall screws. Shim between the flange and studs as required.
G.Clean off excess sealant.
H.Drill a 3/16" hole into the stud wall through the hole above the seat. Push the seat firmly against the stud wall to ensure the structural adhesive has contacted the back surfaces of the seat. Secure the seat wall to the stud wall with the 5/16" lag screw and washer. Tighten only until the washer is snug and does not move. Completely caulk and seal the lag screw and washer. After the caulking has cured, adhere the nameplate over the hole as shown.
