Section I

Section I provides necessary details for installing the FR-03 foot rest ledge into an area that
includes wood blocking.

In preparation, before installing this foot rest ledge, you will need to have
completed the installation of the panel systems and sealed the seams of the
shower panels behind where the foot rest ledge is to be installed with 100%
silicone.

Tools /Materials Required:

1. Drill, preferably corded, for drilling holes

2. 3/16” masonry drill bit

3. Measuring tape

4. Pencil

5. 100% silicone for marble to marble seams (color matched for the marble)

6. Clean, dry cloths to clean both the foot rest ledge and wall

7. White silicone to be used for adhering the foot rest ledge to the wall

8. # 2 Phillips Head Screwdriver to tighten screws when attaching foot rest ledge (A

right-angle or ratcheting right-angle screwdriver will make the installation
easier)

9. Three #10 x 3” Stainless Steel Truss Head Sheet Metal Screws (provided by Mincey
Marble) to attach foot rest ledge to required wood blocking (supplied by
others).These screws will be packaged with the foot rest ledge.

PLEASE NOTE: There should be a minimum 2 x 6 pressure treated wood blocking in the

wall behind the substrate material in the tub/shower enclosure, prior to the cast marble
panels being installed. This blocking should be installed so that the center of the

blocking will be 17” above finished floor. The blocking should be installed securely

behind the substrate on both the back wall and the end wall which is opposite from the
shower head, as the foot rest ledge will be installed in this corner of the “dry wall”.
Please see drawing (A). The wood blocking should not have any free movement and be
structurally secure behind the substrate and secured to the structural framework of the
wall.

DISCLAIMER NOTICE: If the prescribed method of installation is not followed
precisely, the foot rest ledge may detach from the wall and cause damage to the
panels and the walls. If the foot rest ledge detaches, physical injury to the
occupant of the shower may occur. Mincey Marble will not be liable for any
damages to persons or property because of incorrect installation.

The foot rest ledge will come with pre-cut slots in the integral support, which will slide over the
truss screws in the walls. It is very important to pre-drill the holes for the truss screws into the
cast marble panels before driving the truss screws into the wood blocking, in order to avoid
damaging the cast marble panels. The integral support of the foot rest ledge has a short side
and a long side. The short side of the foot rest ledge will be installed onto the back wall and the
long side will be on the end wall of the enclosure.

Installing the Foot Rest Ledge with wood blocking:

1. Measure the locations of the slots on the back of the foot rest ledge and transfer these
dimensions to the cast marble panels in the corner of the shower enclosure where the
foot rest ledge is to be installed. See illustration (1). The top of the foot rest ledge,

once installed, must be even with the top of the 1-1/2” band of the cast marble
panels. The correct location of the drilled holes is critical in order to maintain
alignment of the foot rest ledge to this band. See illustration (2).
