Installation Guide

5. Apron Strips
TW-32 Only
If the distance from back wall to front
edge of apron is more than 31-1/2",
the apron strips will not line up with
the side wall, and must be cut down or
discarded if a straight line from floor to
top of the side panel is desired.
7. Trial fit before
proceeding.
Use a drill and a hole-cutting bit, or a
hole saw, to cut your holes 1/2" larger
than the diameter of the pipes. Drill or
cut from the finished side of panel.
For best results, place a scrap of wood
beneath hole to be cut. This gives you
a clean opening.
6A. Side Panels
TW-32 Only
Note: Side panels for Model TW-32, A
and E, are not interchangeable. Check
backs for markings left and right.
Measure location of plumbing outlets
from a line straight up from front edge
of apron strips (or tub, if strips are not
used) and height above top ledge of
the tub. We suggest you make a tem-
plate from cardboard to help position
your side panel over plumbing outlets.
Transfer measurements to panel mak-
ing sure (before you drill) that you
have selected the correct panel.
6B. Side Panels
WW-6000 Only
Measure location of plumbing outlets
from the front edge of the tub (A) and
up from the top of the tub (B). We
suggest you make a template from
cardboard to help position your side
panel over plumbing outlets.
Transfer measurements to panel mak-
ing sure (before you drill) that you
have selected the correct panel.

Apply pressure sensitive tape and
adhesive to proper side panel with pat-
tern suggested. Keep adhesive 1"
away from factory applied pressure
sensitive tape. Put an extra ring of
adhesive around drilled holes.
Remove the backing from the factory
applied pressure sensitive tape.
9.
Carefully line up front edge of panel
with front edge of apron strip (or tub,
if strips are not used) with bottom
edge resting on the top ledge of the
tub. Press firmly starting from bottom
and continuing up to insure solid wall
contact.
CAULKING
Following instructions on the caulking tube…apply a bead of caulking along the
bottom and top edge of the back panel, side panels and corner panels. The cen-
ter panel’s two lapping edges and the two overlapping edges of the side panels
may also be caulked, if desired, however, it is NOT necessary.
CARE AND CLEANING
The surface is stain and abrasion resistant, however it requires reasonable care.
Wash regularly with warm water; use soft cloth with mild liquid detergent such as
Handy Andy, Mr. Clean or Lestoil. Scouring pads made of nylon, saran or polyethyl-
ene may be used but NEVER USE ABRASIVE SCOURING POWDERS, CLEANERS OR
PADS…THEY DULL THE FINISH. Protect finish with any fiberglass wax or automotive
paste wax.

NOTE: Tape may not hold if
conditions are not optimal; the
panels need to have full con-
tact with the wall for maximum
adhesion. If walls are out of
plumb, rough, or the panels
seem to pull away from the
wall once applied, you will
need to brace the unit.
Temporary bracing may be con-
structed by wedging, as illus-
trated, lengths of 1 x 2s, 2 x 2s,
and 1 x 3s.
POSITIVELY NO HAMMERING
OR NAILING IS TO BE DONE
CAUTION:
Dry cleaning agents and solvent will damage the surface. Burning cigarettes will
damage and discolor surface.
