Stud wall leaning inward
7. Shimming Procedures
- If either wall is not plumb, it will adversely effect the fit of the wall panels to the receptor and the fit of the shower
door to the walls.
- If one or both of the stud pocket walls are leaning inward toward the receptor, the receptor will have to be moved
away from the stud pocket until the walls sit plumb.
- If one or both of the stud pocket walls are leaning outward away from the receptor, you will have to shim
between the nail-in flange of the wall and stud pocket until the shower wall is plumb.
- Depending on the severity of the out- of- plumb condition and the shimming required, you may have to move
your drain pipe and/or rough plumbing to align with the receptor in its plumb condition.

Shim at each nail
Note: Position the shims so they are held in place by the fasteners
whenever possible. Drill pilot holes through the shims to avoid
splitting them when the fasteners are installed.
