9. Complete the Finished Wall

For Receptor-Only Installations
NOTE: When installing a Sterling recommended shower door, the finished wall thickness must be 1-5/8"
(4.1 cm) thick.
NOTE: Apply the water-resistant wall material over the flanges, leaving a 1/4" (6 mm) gap between the
receptor and the wall material. When the edge of the wall surround and the finished wall are sealed, a gap
helps to reduce the possibility of water seeping into the wall material.
NOTE: Provide properly sized holes for the plumbing fixtures when installing water-resistant wall material
and finished wall material.
Cover the framing around the wall surrounds and the shower receptor with water-resistant wall
material.
Seal the joints between the receptor and the water-resistant wall material with clear 100% silicone
sealant. Allow the sealant to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install the finished wall over the water-resistant wall material.
Seal the joints between the receptor and the finished wall material, between the receptor and the
finished floor, and between the receptor and the baseboard with clear 100% silicone sealant.
Allow the sealant to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
10. Finish the Installation
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing the drain, valve trim, and showerhead.
For All Installations
Connect the drain to the trap according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Seal the holes cut in the plumbing end wall.
Install all trim according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Install Miscellaneous Accessories
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not make additional holes in the wall surround or receptor
without adding adequate clear 100% silicone sealant. Holes made to install any accessories may cause
leakage. The improper installation of accessories may void the warranty.
