5 Wipe the shower walls, sill, curb & wall jambs
with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris.
Apply a 1/4” bead of silicone along the inside of the
pencil lines that were marked in Step #3. Carefully
place the curb on the sill, over top the silicone, in the
position marked.
Silicone the inside of the curb at both ends where it
meets the wall, over the anchor plate and screws as
well as the inside of the mitered joint.
TIP: Angle the tip of the silicone tube so that silicone
fills under the two “legs” in the curb that the wall
jambs sit on and anchor plate slides into. Smooth
out with your finger to remove possible air pockets
and force the silicone into the cracks and crevasses.
Replace both wall jambs and attach them
to the walls with the six #8 x 1 1 /2” truss
head screws [F].
4 Place one wall jamb [D] into the curb against the
wall. Using a level, plumb the wall jamb and mark the
hole locations on the wall with a pencil. Repeat this step
for the other wall jamb. Remove all parts and drill the holes.
TIP: Tape can be used to temporarily hold the curb in place.
Tile or marble walls:
Drill 3/16” diameter holes into the walls and insert
the plastic wall anchors [E].
Fiber
glass or acrylic units can be done two different ways.
If the walls are not reinforced, drill 3/16” diameter holes
and insert the plastic wall anchors. (Toggle bolts may
be used instead but they are not provided).
If the walls are reinforced, only drill 1/8” diameter holes.
