58" FOR TUB.
Measure and draw a line 58" from deck of tub up each 2x4 that will contact rear side of wall panel.
The line will provide a location where to apply adhesive. NOTE: Do not apply adhesive on "Required Studs".
Once all panels are correctly in position, remove the Rear Wall Panel and apply adhesive on outer edges of
each 2x4 that come into contact with the rear side of panel as illustrated. Reinstall the Rear Wall Panel back
into position and snap into place over the Side Wall Panels. When correctly snapped into position, screw Rear
Panel in place on the top flange area into each stud using exterior rated wood screws.
NOTE: It may be necessary to apply bracing to the wall areas where the walls contact the adhesive to ensure
good contact. Wait 24 hours before applying sealant to joint areas as noted in step 9 below.
