3. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please install all of the required plumbing and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.

Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.

6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

7. Note: The installation of this unit requires that you drill down into the threshold. Contact the

manufacturer of the base, tub or threshold material with any questions regarding the drilling of holes into their product.
