DRY FITTING THE PANELS ON THE WALL
A) Dry fit the panels starting with the rear panel first, keeping it centered, equidistant
between the 2 rear corners of the wall. Use masking tape to hold panel in position.
Mark a vertical line top to bottom at the corner edges of the panel on the rear wall to
ensure panel is centered between the 2 corners as a reference. See Illustration 2.
NOTE: If any trimming is needed, measure and mark dimensions. Cut with a fine
tooth Jig Saw. If installing in a 48" shower alcove, follow procedure below for
"Installing a 48" Shower Alcove".
B) When dry fitting side panels, place the panel entrance edge at the desired location
on wall while also ensuring a gap or distance no greater than 7-3/4" (197mm) exists
at the panel's back corner to the rear wall. Use masking tape to hold panel in position.
Mark a vertical line top to bottom on the side wall near the corner at back edge of
side panel to reference later. Repeat for opposite side panel wall.
NOTE: Verify that the gaps at both rear corners can be covered by the corner
panels by dry fitting or placing a corner panel in each corner.
See Illustrations 4 and 5.
C) Once side panels are properly dry fitted, mark all plumbing locations where
shower valves or shower heads come through the side panel. Drill holes at each
location using a Hole Saw large enough to accommodate the opening but small
enough to be covered by the trim plates. See Illustration 3.
INSTALLING IN A 48" SHOWER ALCOVE
a) If installing in a 48" alcove area using the Ovation Shower Wall Set, the rear panel will need to be cut or trimmed to t.
b) To accurately measure and cut the rear panel for your alcove, dry t both corner panels squarely into the corners of the
alcove and tape to hold in place. See Illustration 4.
c) Measure the distance from raised lip of one rear corner to raised lip of opposite rear corner so the rear corners overlap
the rear panel. See Illustration 5. This dimension is what the rear panel will be trimmed to. Ensure the dimension
obtained will allow the rear panel when cut, to slide under or overlap the raised lip of each rear corner. See Illustration 6.
d) Mark the rear panel from the dimension obtained above and cut or trim the panel using a ne toothed Jig Saw.
e) Dry t the trimmed rear panel to the wall while placing each corner panel in place, observing that the rear panel correctly
ts under and overlaps the raised lip of each corner panel.
f) Once the rear panel is correctly trimmed and ts in place, proceed to Step 1B at top of this page.
