around each pin of the body spray wall. Apply a 1/4"
bead of sealant to the shower base edge where the
shelf wall will rest.

each stud where the back surface of the panel stiffen-
ers will make contact.

spray wall and against the side stud wall. Secure the

perpendicular. Secure the front flange to the side stud
