NOTE: A short bead of silicone sealant placed next to the receptor nailing-in flange can compensate for
out-of-plumb walls and water spray at the flange area. The bead of sealant should be between 1/4" and
3/8" (1 cm) in diameter and it should be between 3" (7.6 cm) and 4" (10.2 cm) long. Mildew-resistant 100%
silicone sealant is recommended.
Clean and dry the outer few inches of the receptor nailing-in flange at the point that the end walls
will be installed.
Apply a 3" (7.6 cm) to 4" (10.2 cm) bead of silicone sealant at each outer end of the wainscotting
where the end walls will be installed.
Do not allow the sealant to cure before the end walls are installed.
