CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Wall surrounds must rest within 1/32" (1
mm) (the thickness of a credit card) from the receptor to ensure proper water
management and to prevent leakage. (1)
Ensure that the wall surrounds are properly secured and seated on the receptor.
The front edges of the end walls must be flush with the front edge of the receptor.
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. (2)
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 flange. (3)
Cover the flange around the wall surrounds and the receptor with water-resistant
wall material. Leave a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between the wall surrounds and the wall
material. When sealed, this gap will reduce the possibility of water seeping into
the wall material. (4)
Seal the seams between the wall surrounds and the finished wall material with
100% silicone sealant. Allow the silicone sealant to cure according to the sealant
manufacturer's instructions. (4)
