NOTE: A short bead of clear silicone sealant placed next to the bath nailing-in flange can compensate for
out-of-plumb walls and water spray at the flange area. The sealant is hidden when the wall surrounds are
installed and no maintenance is required. The bead of sealant should be between 1/4" (6 mm) and 3/8" (1
cm) in diameter and it should be between 3" (7.6 cm) and 4" (10.2 cm) long. Mildew-resistant 100% clear
silicone sealant is recommended.
Clean and dry the outer few inches of the bath nailing-in flange at the point where the end walls
will be installed.
Apply a 3" (7.6 cm) to 4" (10.2 cm) bead of silicone sealant at each outer end of the wainscotting
where the end walls will be installed.
Do not allow the sealant to cure before the end walls are installed.
