¾ IMPORTANT: If the trim plate is not sitting snug to
the wall because of uneven tiles, then shimming of
the wall plate may be necessary.
¾ If there is too much gap between wall and trim
plate: first make sure that the trim plate is fully
seating into wall plate. If the trim plate is fully seated
and there is still too much gap: remove wall plate,
discard the o-ring chord behind wall plate, and fill
the o-ring groove with caulk.
