INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
If you plan to install a shower door, a 1 x 4 must be installed in the side pockets on the back of both side walls and a 1 x 3 must be
installed in the top pockets.
A) Cut one end of the 1 x 4 to 45° as shown. (Fig.1) Then cut the 1 x 4 to a length of 70-1/2". Cut the 1 x 3 to a length of 21" for the
3838CW and 25" for the 4242CW.
B) Apply a bead of tub surround adhesive in the pockets of each side wall. Attach the 1 x 3 so that it butts up against the top of the top
pocket. With 45° cut end down and angle facing out, attach 1 x 4 board butting up against the bottom of the 1 x 3. Allow time to cure.
A) Position the three panels into the alcove. Lower each
panel onto the shower base to ensure that the panels fit
properly in the alcove.
B) Mark the appropriate side panel (right or left) cutouts for
plumbing fixtures. Refer to plumbing fixture installation
instructions for hole dimensions and placement. Carefully
locate, mark and cut holes using the properly sized
hole saw. Attach fire retardant pad to the back of the
panel per instructions included with pad.
C) When satisfied with fit, mark a line across the top of the
panels on each stud. Remove the panels. The marked
line will help align the panels in subsequent steps.
