11. Apply Silicone Sealant
IMPORTANT! Use clear 100% silicone sealant. Latex, caulk, or siliconized latex sealants do not provide
water and mildew resistance over the life of the product.
IMPORTANT! Do not allow the sealant to set before the end walls are installed. After applying sealant,
immediately proceed to the "Install the Wall Surrounds" section of this guide.
Clean and dry the outer few inches of the whirlpool flange where the end walls will be installed.
Apply an L-shaped bead of clear 100% silicone sealant at each outer end of the flange where the
end walls will be installed. Apply the bead so it is 1/4" (6 mm) wide and 1" (25 mm) by 4" (102
mm) long, as shown in the illustration.
