Secure the Wall Surrounds

Remove the temporary rooﬁng nail from the back wall.

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.

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, drill

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.

Secure the wall ﬂanges across the top of the wall surrounds at every stud location.

Add shims if necessary to bring the studs into contact with the bath ﬂange.
