Installation Guide

After the back wall is installed and you’ve completed your

template for the wall where the shower valve is located, do

a series of measurements from the oor and back wall to

determine the center line of the shower valve. Identify all the

holes that need to be cut in the panel, draw the center line for

each hole on the template and transcribe the information onto the

back of the panel. If using a template, double check the holes to

make sure they align with the valve and/or shower head.

Prior to tapping the holes into the panel, make sure the panels

have already been cut to size according to the template. Place

template on top of the slate panel and trace all information onto

the surface with a #2 pencil.

If you have not purchased a recessed light bit, use the 1 3/8” tile

hole saw to make a series of small holes along the outside edge

of the hole as seen in picture 2. Then use the recommended

scissors (see picture 3) to complete the cut out.

To tap the shower head hole, use the Brutus Tile Hole Saw with

guide (see picture 4). The guide will suction to a clean slate

surface (denatured alcohol may be needed). Then ll the guide

with water. Place the bit in drill, insert bit into cylinder and cut

your hole.
