Drop-In Models:
If applicable, carefully remove the protective tape from the bath rim.
Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the entire rim of the bath.
Install water-resistant wallboard to the stud framing.
Apply silicone sealant to seal all areas where the bath and wallboard meet.
Flanged Models:
Drill a small pilot hole through the nailing-in flange at each stud. Add shims to eliminate any gaps.
Nail 1/4" (6 mm) thick furring strips to the studs.
Use large-head galvanized nails to secure the nailing-in flange to the studs.
Install water-resistant wallboard, leaving a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between the bath edge and the
wallboard.
All Models
Install the finished deck/wall material 1/8" (3 mm) away from the bath edge to create a groove for
silicone sealant.
Apply silicone sealant in the groove between the bath edge and the finished deck/wall.
