INSTALLATION
PREPARE THE MODULE
Install the drain to the module according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Lay out the location of the holes for the supply or mixing
valve on the back side of the module.
Drill a 1/4" (6mm) diameter pilot hole for the fittings at each
location marked.
For multiple installations - if the supply fittings are located
accurately during rough plumbing, make a lightweight
plywood template that contains pilot holes to mark the
hole locations on the back side of the module.
From the finish face of the module, use a hole saw to drill
holes to the required size.
Clean the module recess thoroughly.
INSTALL THE MODULE
Carefully slide the module into the recess.
Position the right side of the front frame and header into
the recess, and nail in place.
Be sure the bottom of the module is firmly supported
against the floor. Some framing adjustments may be
necessary. However, no additional support is required.
The module must be plumb and level to ensure proper
shower door installation.
Use drywall screws or #6 large-head galvanized nails to
fasten the front and top nailing-in flanges to 2x2 braces at
pre-drilled 18" (45.7cm) centers. When nailing, be careful
to prevent possible damage to the finished surfaces.
Complete the drain installation. Rough-in the shower,
valve, and supply connections at this time. Test for leaks.
Strap the supply connections to the stud supports.
Provide access for future plumbing maintenance.
INSTALL THE FINISH WALL MATERIAL
Install water-resistant wall material for either flush or
alcove installation as follows:
For flush installations: Install water-resistant wall
material to within 1/4" (6mm) of the module edge. Install
desired trim around the unit to conceal the module edge.
Also install trim along the bottom apron edge.
Tape, mud, and finish the wall material. Seal the openings
around the valves and outlets with plumbers putty.
