5. Pre-Fit the Wall Surrounds
NOTE: If the shower valves or controls prevent the plumbing wall section from being properly positioned
before the necessary holes are cut, cut the holes according to the "Cut the Valve Holes" section, and then
return to this procedure.
Place the shelf wall on the receptor.
Slide the shelf wall to align the end of the wall with the end of the receptor.
Temporarily hold the shelf wall upright by installing a roofing nail or equivalent over the top of the
flange into the center of a stud. Do not drive the nail in so far that it interferes with the remaining
wall.
Position the remaining wall, ensuring that the wall interlock pins are engaged.
IMPORTANT! Do not secure the walls to the stud framing at this time.
Verify that the assembled wall surround is resting properly on the receptor. If required, remove the
roofing nail at the shelf wall.
Verify that the walls are flush with the edge of the receptor. If required, push or pull the walls into
position.
Check the fit and verify that the wall sections are properly aligned with the studs at the upper and
vertical flanges. Add shims to bring the studs into contact with the wall surround, if necessary.
