Place the center wall panel in place resting on the wood blocks. One by one, remove the back blocks and carefully

lower the wall panel down on the connection surface. Note that the wall panel sticks out past the base unit

approximately 3/8” when it is in the installed position. This is a normal function of the design.Take care to make

sure the plastic fasteners slip through the corresponding holes in the wall panel.

26.

Work the wall panel down so the caulking will spread along the bottom to create a water resistant seal.

Make sure the edge of the panel is even with the edge on the shower base. Wipe away excess caulking. Once

the caulking cures, it will assist in securing the bottom of the wall in place.

27.

Using a carpenters level, make sure the back wall is plumb. Fasten the wall to the framing through the mounting

flange using 6D galvanized screws. At this point, fasten at each corner, and do not tighten the screws completely.

There may be need for slight adjustment after the two side walls are installed.

28.

Fasten Back Wall

At Corners.

To install the side walls, apply a bead of 100%

silicone caulking along the entire connection

surface of the back wall and shower base.

The caulk should be applied between the

plactic fasteners and inside edge of the base.

Carefully lift the wall panel opposite the fittings

and place it on the wood block. Take care to

line up all holes in the side wall with the

corresponding plastic fasteners in the back

wall and shower base. Remove the wood

block and move the wall into the installed

position. As with the back wall, the side walls

will stick out 3/8” past the base unit when the

walls are in the installed position.

INSTALLING THE SIDE WALLS

Press the wall into the caulking to create a

water resistant seal. Make sure all seams

line up in a satisfactory manner.

31.

Install one galvanized screw in each corner

of the wall panel to hold it in position.

32.

Repeat this steps to install the opposite wall. The exception is to

guide the control valve stems through the panel as it is moved into

place. Press the panel into the caulking. Make certain the shower

arm fitting is lined up with the hole so the shower head can be

installed.
