TOOLS REQUIRED
TO INSTALL
Tools needed are a carbide tip
saber saw, drill, ruler, level,
masking tape, and caulking gun.
For best results and extended
tool life, we recommend profes-
sional or industrial rated power
tools. All routing and cutting
tools should have a minimum
rating of 10 AMPS.
CUTTING AND ROUTING
TOOLS
Dependent on the type of cut or
edge detail required, one or
more of the following tools may
be required.
• Circular saw: Minimum 40-
tooth carbide blade (triple chip
grind, 60-tooth will give a
smooth, clean cut)
• Portable power plane with car-
bide blades or cutter heads.
• Saber Saw (straight up/down
blade travel). Fine plywood
carbide blade or blade with no
tooth over-hang (14 teeth per
inch)
• Miter saw
IMPORTANT
If you are installing the TK-6072
bathtub wall panel trim kit over a
Swanstone SS-60 bathtub wall
panel unit, trimming of the center
soap dish panel will be required.
You must follow the procedure
shown in step #3.
1. VERTICAL TRIM STRIP
Select any two of the trim strips. A 45
Њ mitered cut is recommended
for seaming the vertical and horizontal strips. The outside, or long,
measurement of the vertical trim strip should be approximately 7/8
Љ
greater than the vertical measurement of the wall panel. Set each ver-
tical trim strip into position. The most desirable placement will line up
the front edge of the trim strip with the front edge of the bathtub or
shower floor. Trial fit all pieces before final application.

2. VERTICAL FIT
For a proper vertical fit, check
with a level. Temporarily secure
trim strip to the wall with mask-
ing tape. Mark the location of the
vertical trim strips with “tick”
marks. These “tick” marks will be
used for final fit. 3. IMPORTANT
If you are installing the TK-6072
bathtub wall panel trim kit over a
Swanstone SS-60 bathtub wall
panel unit, it will be necessary to
trim the center soap dish panel.
Using the proper cutting tools
(see Cutting and Routing Tools),
measure and trim as needed.
