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.
