INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Allow panels to reach room temperature before installation.

Before you begin, locate appropriate product reference (see page 1).

Read installation instructions carefully before starting project.

Keep instructions for warranty information.

Caulk will be necessary when installing American Standard walls on a shower base from another manufacturer.

STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE

Strip alcove to the bare studs. It may be necessary to add a stud at each front corner to provide attachment for side panels as shown in appropriate stud layout on page 1.

Check that there are no screws, nails or staples in the studs which would interfere with the base or wall installation.

If installing over existing base, check that studs are plumb to the base, then go to

Step 3.

For new construction, place studs as shown in appropriate stud layout on page 1.

Check that the sub floor for the base is level and studs are plumb to the sub floor.

(Fig. 1)

STEP 2. BASE INSTALLATION

• Follow Manufacturer’s instructions for installing your base.

IMPORTANT: Shower base must be plumb and square to alcove for proper wall installation.

STEP 3. TRIAL FITTING PANELS

Place back panel first. The stud on each side of the back panel should contact the entire length of the back panel. (Fig. 2)

Fit the side panels by aligning pins on side panels with slots on back panel. (Fig. 3)

If the studs and back panel do not contact correctly you will need to shim for support.

(Fig. 4)

Center assembled wall on base. Make sure panels are resting flat on base.

Align the front of the side walls and the front of the base. This makes drywall installation easier.

If necessary, shim between wall panels and studs to provide a tight fit between the back and side panels. (Fig. 4)

Measure and mark all control holes. After removing side panels, drill or saw necessary holes.

FIGURE 1. Check that studs are plumb with floor/shower.

FIGURE 2. Stud must contact entire length of back panel.

FIGURE 3. Align pins with slots on back wall.

IMPORTANT: Drill or saw holes from the front side. Cover area to be cut with masking tape to prevent chipping and scratching.

Mark the height of the wall on each stud to indicate where to apply adhesive on the stud. (Fig. 5)

Remove panels from alcove.

(INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE)

SHIM PANELS AT EACH STUD IF

NECESSARY TO ASSURE THEY

SIT FLAT ON SHOWER BASE

AND FIT TIGHTLY TOGETHER

 

FIGURE 4. You can shim against the stud.
