5. Cut the Supply Holes
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Check and recheck the valve and showerhead locations before
drilling. The hole(s) must be in the correct location.
CAUTION: Risk of injury. Wear safety glasses while cutting or drilling.
Mark the center of the supply valve on the front side of the end wall. Determine the height
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The holes should align with the rough plumbing dimensions from the "Construct the Stud Framing"
section, and should be on the centerline of the wall panel at the correct distances from the floor.
Refer to the valve manufacturer's instructions for proper hole size. Make sure the valve cover plate
is large enough to cover the holes.
Drill 1/4" (6 mm) diameter pilot holes at the marked locations on the appropriate shower wall.
From the finished surface of the wall, cut the holes required for the valving. A hole saw is preferred,
but if the correct size is not available it can be cut using a jig saw with a fine metal or plastic
cutting blade.
Protect the finished surface with masking tape before cutting.
