10. Fasten the Walls in Place
- Carefully move the wall assembly onto the receptor. Place the wall assembly directly onto the receptor to prevent
scraping caulk off the joint.
- Check the walls for plumb.
- Check the alignment of the receptor walls as described in section 6, "Pre-fit the Shower Walls Together ."
- Shim the walls as necessary at each predrilled hole location.
- Fasten the walls into place using #6 large- head galvanized nails. (Figure 1)
11. Finish the Wall
- Apply 1/8" (3mm) thick furring strips to the studs to ensure the wallboard installation is true and level. (Figure 2)
- Apply water-resistant sealant to the nailing-in flange.
- Install the wallboard with the factory edge (the paperbound edge) a maximum of 1/4" (6mm) above the finished,
concave surface of the walls.
- The front nailing-in flanges should be similarly furred, and the wallboard sealed to the nailing-in flange. Mud,
tape, and finish the wallboard.
