Safety Guidelines
IMPORTANT NOTICE
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Indicates that equipment or property damage can result if instructions are not followed.
Read and Understand the Manual
It is the responsibility of any individual who
installs or maintains this product to fully understand and follow proper installation and
maintenance procedures. Be aware of the inherent dangers in the use of power tools when installing this product. Read and understand all Warnings, Cautions, and Important Notices in this manual.
Work Safely
DO NOT proceed if any doubt arises about the correct or safe method of performing anything found in this or other Swan Corporation
manuals. The installation of this product can require using power tools. Do not use power tools without adequate training. If necessary, hire or consult a trained professional for expert assistance before continuing.
Use Proper Tools
Always use proper tools which are in good, working condition during the installation of the Swan Corporation products. Using tools other
than those listed could adversely affect the integrity of floors, pipes, walls, or this product and could result in water damage or other damage to floors, pipes, walls, or other portions of your building or home.
Do Not Use Nails
The panels mount to walls with clear silicone only. Only use the supplied or recommended clear silicone to mount this product. Never
use hammers, nails, or screws. Hammers, nails, and screws could adversely affect the integrity of this product. Nails and screws could puncture the Swan Corporation Wall Systems and Panels, resulting in water or other damage to floors, pipes, walls, or other portions of your building or home.
Inspect Before Cutting
Make sure no electrical wiring or plumbing is present before cutting into a wall to install any
accessories.
Wall Conditions
Inspect the walls before installing the Swan Corporation panels. Never install panels over
damp walls or an existing mold condition.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Use Proper Installation Methods
Follow all instructions related to wall surface
preparation. Failure to follow such instructions could cause the panels to detach from the wall
surface after installation, resulting in personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions could result in water damage.
Lifting Hazard
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the recommended maximum safe lifting weight is
51 pounds, with all lifting conditions perfect—minimal forward reach, steady load close to the body, straight back, load between knees and shoulders, and good grips. To avoid personal injury, always use these proper lifting techniques and use two people to move cartons weighing more than 51 lbs. The boxes containing the
Swan Corporation kits can weigh in excess of 80 pounds. Use the appropriate lifting devices to move the load. Always use two people when lifting heavy or bulky cartons. DO NOT attempt to lift objects that are too heavy.
WHEN CARRYING A HEAVY LOAD—GET HELP!
Slipping Hazard
Do not install this product in the presence of
water. Installing this product without drying all surfaces, or in the presence of water, could
cause you to slip and fall due to wet floors or spilled fluids. Personal injury can result from slips or falls. Before installation, dry all surfaces, including the floor, with a cloth or paper towel. Clean up all water or spilled fluids immediately.
Tripping Hazard
Personal injury can result from tripping over power cords, tools, or other items. DO NOT leave items laying around the work area.
Personal Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective
equipment, such as sturdy work boots, preferably with steel toes,
gloves, and hard hat, if necessary, to ensure your own safety. To prevent possible damage to your hearing, always wear ear protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs, when working around power tools.

Safety Guidelines
Cutting Hazard
The installation of the Swan Corporation
product may require using power tools. Keep hands away from the cutting edge of any tool used in the installation of our product. Placing fingers in
or around the cutting blades could result in serious personal injury.
Sharp Edge Hazard
After cutting the edge of a Swan Corporation panel, it can be sharp. Wear protective gloves to prevent personal injury.
Room Temperature
Allow the Swan Corporation panels and silicone sealants to adjust to room
temperature for at least six hours before installation. The panels should be installed at temperatures not less than 65°F. Panels should not be installed in areas where the temperature may drop below freezing (32°F). Failure to follow this recommendation could adversely affect the silicone sealants, which holds the panels to the wall. If the panels are not correctly adhered to the walls, they may fall off, causing possible injury to someone in or around the shower or bathtub enclosure.
Grab Bars
We recommend that shower compartments be equipped with support grab bars that comply
with the most recent edition of ANSI-A117.1 requirements. Grab bars must be anchored to structural support (wall studs) behind the panels. Do not rely on the panels only for grab bar support!
WARNING
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Eye Protection
Be sure to use all personal protective
equipment to ensure your own safety. To avoid eye injury, always wear protective glasses with
side shields when using power tools. Also, make sure no one else can be injured by flying particles when using power tools.
Fire Hazard
Personal injury or death can
result from a fire caused by flammable liquids or silicone sealants. Cleaners or solvents can be highly explosive,
resulting in personal injury or even death, when not used properly. Clean up any flammable substance immediately. Sparks or open flames can cause flammable substances to ignite. DO NOT smoke while working on or near any flammable substance.
Solvents Hazard
Follow all manufacturer’s safety instructions for
silicone sealants and denatured alcohol. Alcohol vapors are both flammable and
hazardous to breathe. Silicone vapors may irritate eyes and nose. Personal injury can result from improperly handling or use of products, such as denatured alcohol. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe use of these products. Ventilate any work area before beginning to apply silicone sealants, cleaning agents, or solvents.
Fumes Hazard
The fumes from the silicone and solvents used by the installer can be
harmful if used in an unventilated room. Always work in a well-ventilated area. To keep the area well-ventilated, open windows and use exhaust fans. If adequate ventilation is not achievable or practical, use respiratory protective equipment.
Dust Hazard
When cutting or drilling the Swan Corporation product, use a dust
collection method which prevents dust particles from going into the air. Always work in a wellventilated area. Always use an OSHA approved dust mask when cutting, drilling, or sanding Swan Corporation products.

WARNING
WARNING: Continued
Power Tool Hazard
To prevent personal injury or possible
death, always follow the electrical safety recommendations of the power tool’s
manufacturer. Do not use power tools in an unsafe manner. Power tools should only be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).
Shock Hazard
Never use electric power tools around
water, condensation, or other liquids. Electric shock can cause severe
burns, significant injuries, and even death. If an extension cord is required, always use an OSHA approved extension cord. Power cords should only be connected to a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFI).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Contacting live electrical wiring with
power tools or hand tools can cause serious injury or death. Make sure all
related circuit breakers are turned OFF. Test for live circuits or wiring inside any wall where installation of the Swan Corporation product requires cutting into a wall.
Electrocution Hazard
Water and other liquids conduct electric
current and can create a short circuit, resulting in injury or death. Keep all liquids away from electrical cords and power tools. DO
NOT create a short circuit between a source of electricity and a liquid by being in contact with both simultaneously.

General Information
Unpack Carton
Use care when opening the box so that you do not damage the panels.
This product is shipped to you or your retail center after careful inspection. After purchasing the kit, carefully unpack and inspect the product for any shipping damage that may have occurred. If damage is found, report it immediately to the store of purchase. After inspection and during installation, protect the products from construction damage by moving them to another room or area until ready to install.
Store panels in a flat area to avoid warpage until the time of installation. Do not store the panels outside of the original packaging in a vertical position.
Please use the model number located on the side of the box, or the front of this manual, when contacting us with questions concerning the installation of this unit.
Make sure the walls are the correct size and are in good condition. Installation of damaged product will void the warranty.
Helpful Hints
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the various parts of the kit.
The variety of installations possible for this kit may require procedures other than those shown. Ensure construction is correctly sized, plumb, and square.
Save the large cardboard box for protection of the shower floor or bathtub during the installation process and to use as a template for cutting the wall panels.
Allow sufficient time for the parts in this kit to adjust to room temperature. We do not recommend installation of this product at temperatures below 65 degrees.
Sawhorses with 2 x 4 cross-members or a worktable are helpful during the installation process.
Always transport the panels vertically. Use care when laying the panels flat to prevent flexing, especially when panels have a cutout in them.
Store unused materials away from the work area to prevent accidental damage.
If the shower or bathtub is placed over a garage or on an outside wall, care must be taken to ensure that the shower or bathtub is properly insulated from cold temperatures.
Preparation Tips
Measure the width of the back wall (with green board) installed. This measurement cannot exceed the width of the Swan Corporation back panel(s). If the wall opening is too small or too large, other methods will be required to cover the wall.
Measure the height above the bathtub or shower base. If this measurement is less than the height of the Swan Corporation back and side panels, then the panels must be cut to fit.
Turn off the hot and cold water supply.
Remove faucet handles, escutcheons, filler spouts, and/or anything mounted to the wall (i.e. towel bars, soap dishes, etc.).
Always measure the location of the plumbing cutouts, as stated in the instructions for each specific Swan Corporation tub wall kit. Make a cardboard template to trial fit all plumbing cutouts before cutting panels.
Ensure all plumbing or electrical work inside the walls is finished prior to installation of the wall panels.
Prepare the area with 1/2 inch (13 mm) moistureresistant drywall, marine grade plywood, or concrete board. Never install our products directly on any structure that is, or may become, wet or damp.
Trial fit the side panels before you begin. Swan Corporation panels have a finished side and a unfinished backer side. The unfinished backer side should be placed against the sub-wall.
Walls must be solid, plumb, and square within 1/8 inch of true. Shim or trim the opening, as required. This kit has been designed with some adjustability for minor alignment problems.
The mounting surface must be free of dirt, film, waxes, or any other residues.
If you are installing a recessed accessory, cut the hole after the panel is installed and fully supported by the wall. Remember to position the accessory between the wall studs.
Caulking Tips
Follow the instructions on the caulking tube.
When job is complete, inspect all caulked areas for gaps and fill as needed.
Clean up any excess silicone using denatured alcohol and a clean cloth.
Be very careful not to disturb caulk joints.

Filler Boards
If an existing wall covering (i.e. tile) does not extend to a height equal to the height of the panel, it will be necessary to install a filler board to that height. The filler board must equal the thickness of the existing wall covering (tile). Usually 1/4 inch masonite, or similar material, is adequate. If desired, the filler board can extend from the top edge of the tile to the ceiling.
Failure to use a filler board to properly install the panels could result in water damage or other damage to floors, walls, or other portions of your building or home.
