Important
The bath must be installed according to installation instructions (F258000) for the Verona™ whirlpool bath.
Follow the instructions to ensure that proper framing has been provided to support the J-Corner Shower Tower.
Finishing materials must be waterproof and sealed so that spray and condensation do not cause moisture damage.
NOTE: The J-Corner Shower Tower has been partially pre-assembled for your convenience during
installation. The installer must still follow the instructions to ensure proper installation of the tower and
components (see page 11). We recommend that two persons perform this installation.

1. To locate the drilling template, place it over the bath. The template should be against the bath flange edge
and template corner 'A' should be at the bath's corner. (See Illustration 9.)
Note: If bath has been installed with finish materials over bath flange, trim an amount off the template along
the bath flange edge equal to the thickness of mortar and finish materials. (See Illustration 9A.)
2. The inner orange circle should be centered over the circular opening of the bathtub. (See Illustration 9.) The
edge marked “BATH FLANGE EDGE” must be parallel with the back wall. With the template lying flat, tape
firmly to eliminate any shifting.
3 Using a sharp center punch, lightly tap through the template hole center location marks onto the bath surface.
Remove the template.
4. Drill two (3) 9/32" diameter holes for the tower and five (5) 3/16" holes for the bottom rail. (Do not drill through
the template.)
IMPORTANT: THE HOLES MUST BE DRILLED AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE TO INSURE PROPER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE SHOWER DOOR.

DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Although the J-Shower Tower is shipped partially assembled, it will have to be partially disassembled to
install. After removing packing materials, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove end cap on the lower track. (Page 18, illustration 24.)
2. Remove the top ring. (Page 15, illustration 19.)
3. Remove the fixed panel with bottom rail. (Page 14, illustration 15 .)
4. It is not necessary to remove bails or wall bar. Water connections will have to be removed to apply sealant.

bath and around the perimeter where the tower will sit. (See Illustration 11.)
8. Place the tower pins in the holes and push the tower down firmly. The tower will stand temporarily on its
own. Clean off excess sealant.
9. Place the U-extrusion against the wall edge, set back 13/32" from front edge. Drill three (3) 1/8" holes into
the wall and U-extrusion. Put sealant on the mating surface of the U-extrusion, or on the wall, and secure the
U-extrusion to the wall with the stainless steel screws, R.

the bottom rail and inside the back channel of the vertical frame. Place the assembly against the vertical
edge of the tower and onto the bath surface, interlocking the two extrusions. (See Illustration 15.) Secure the
assembly to the bathtub using one (1) nut and washer and four (4) screws and washers following the fastening sequence. Gently push on the shaded portion of the bottom rail (see Illustration 15) to align with the holes
in the bath shell. After installing the fixed panel, apply sealant along all four inside edges of the glass frame.

12.Locate the top ring. Remove the plastic retainer extrusion and set
it aside for later use. Place the top ring on the fixed panel and
tower wall. The top ring groove on the underside of the top ring
must mate with the top of the fixed panel. The flat portion of the
ring should be parallel with the stud wall. (See Illustration 16.)
Mark a line on the stud wall indicating the top plane of the bracket.
(See Illustration 17.) Remove the ring. The top surface of the
bracket upper leg must align with the top ring line previously
marked. (See Illustration 18.) Locate and secure the bracket to
the wall.
13.Place the top ring on the tower and fixed panel. Align the three
holes in the top ring with the two tower holes and one hole in the
