2. Install the Module

- Remove the packaging from the front of the module.
- Install K-9459 Sonata Accessory Kit according to the instructions packed in the kit.
- Install the drain to the whirlpool module according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a drop cloth or similar material to protect the bottom surface of the module.
- Lay out and mark the location of the mixing valve, shower, and bath spout holes on the back (unfinished) surface of the
module wall. Drill 1/4" (6mm) pilot holes at the marked locations.
- From inside the module (finished surface), use a hole saw of the correct diameter to carefully drill the fitting holes. Refer to
the fitting manufacturer's instructions to determine the correct hole sizes.
- Clean the module to reduce the risk of surface damage.
- With help, carefully move the module into the recess.
- Be sure the bottom of the module is firmly supported against the floor. Shimming will be required to level the module. Use
the shims as necessary. You may need to adjust some of the framing. However, no additional support is required. The module
must be plumb and level to ensure proper shower door installation.
- Use #6 large-head galvanized nails to fasten the nailing-in flanges to the studs. Use the pre-drilled holes in the nailing-in
flanges. Be careful to avoid damaging the module surface - shim between the nailing-in flange and the studs to fill any gaps.
