5. Cut Holes for Valves
IMPORTANT ! The center of the supply valves will not be the centerline of the end wall. Refer to the roughing-in
diagram.
- Mark the center of the supply valves on the back side of the end wall.
- Refer to the valve manufacturer's instructions for proper hole sizes. Make sure the valve cover plate is large
enough to cover the holes.
- Remove the end wall. Place masking tape on the wall to protect the surface before drilling and cutting the holes.
- Drill pilot holes from the back side of the end wall.
- Cut holes from the front side of the end wall using a hole saw or a saber saw. Use a fine tooth saw blade (32 teeth
per inch).
6. Check Wall Fit and Secure Walls
- Attach the end walls to the back wall by engaging the wall interlocks and wall tabs.
- Remove the temporary nail at the top of the back wall flange.
- Check to be sure all walls are seated firmly on the shower receptor.
- Check to be sure the end walls are flush with the front of the shower receptor. If needed, slide the end walls
slightly until they are flush with the front of the shower receptor.
- The seam between the walls and receptor should be closed. If a gap exists between the wall flanges and framing,
shim the walls before nailing.
- Use large head roofing nails to secure the end walls first. Nail through the dimples provided, starting at the
bottom and moving up the sides.
- Nail the flanges across the top of the wall panels at every stud location.
