DRY FITTING SIDE WALLS
WALL
POCKET
3a. Place Side Wall into position in the alcove until corner is correctly in place, fitting squarely on top of tub
with approximately a 1/8" gap. TIP: Can use paint mixing paddle as spacers for this. Check the vertical
edges of the panel with a level that they are plumb.
3b. Starting with the Side Panel plumbed for fittings, mark all plumbing locations where shower valves or
shower heads come through the Side Panel. Place tape over the area to be drilled to protect panel
surface finish and drill holes at each location using hole saws large enough to accommodate the opening
but small enough to be covered by the trim plates.
3c. Once correctly in position and plumb, drill 11/64" pilot holes in the top flange and use 1 or 2 screws to
temporally hold the wall panel in place. TIP: After drilling clearance hole through the wall flange drill a
pilot hole for wood screw. This will prevent the screw from following wood grain and pulling wall out of
alignment. Leave the corner of the Wall Panel free floating for the next steps. Dry fit the second Side Wall
Panel in the same manner.

DRY FITTING REAR WALL
Once both Left & Right Side Wall Panels are correctly
dry fitted, the Rear Wall Panel can be dry fitted.
NOTE: Long Extrusions will not be installed until
after trial/dry fit.
4a. Place the Rear Wall Panel between the Left and
Right Side Panels. Check that there is no gap
between the Rear and Side Wall Panels. If there is
a gap between either Side Wall Panel and the Rear
Wall Panel or the Rear Wall Panel does not fit
between the Side Wall Panels, it will be necessary to
re-adjust the Side Panel(s) to ensure the proper fit.
NOTE: Add shims behind panel flange if necessary
to fill in any gaps or spaces. Prepare shims
as needed for the Side Walls to be used
for final installation. Also check that the
Extruded Wall Connectors will fit firmly over
the "Required" stud after the Side Wall have
been correctly shimmed and dry fitted.
