CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Wall surrounds must rest within 1/32″ (1 mm) (the thickness of a credit card) from the bath rim to ensure proper water management and to prevent leakage.

Ensure that the wall surrounds are properly secured and seated on the bath. The front edges of the end walls must be flush with the front edge of the bath. If a gap exists, pull the end walls slightly forward.

The width of the back wall is narrower in the back corner. Add furring strips as needed to support the drywall. If furring strips are not used, drywall installation may be more difficult.

CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. If using non-tapered flathead screws rather than roofing nails, do not overtighten the screws. Excessive

tightening can damage the wall flange.

Starting from the bottom of the end walls and working up, secure the end walls to the studs approximately every 12″ (30.5 cm). If roofing nails are used, nail through the dimples on the wall flanges. If using non-tapered flathead screws, fasten the screws through the dimples on the wall flanges. Do not overtighten the non-tapered flathead screws.

NOTE: Leave a 1/8″ (3 mm) gap between the edge of the wall surround and the finished wall material. When sealed, this gap will reduce the possibility of water seeping into the wall material.

Ensure fiber or other soft insulation does not drop down into the water channel. Cover or seal any loose material. Failure to do so may cause wicking of water from the water channel into the insulation which may induce mold, leakage, or mildew. Ensure the channels are free of debris after installation.
