REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION
CAUTION: DO NOT use drywall screws during installation. Product damage will occur and void the warranty.
CAUTION: The entire bottom support must be in contact with a fl at, level surface.
CAUTION: Handle glass with care. Tempered glass may break if the corners are hit against hard surface.
◘Read complete instructions before beginning installation.
◘These instructions include suggestions for rough construction and plumbing installation that we believe to be reliable.
Local building codes vary and could supersede those suggestions. If you are not confident in your ability to perform
these tasks, contract out those tasks you need help with or use a professional installer.
◘Confirm that your model will fit in intended location and plumbing fixtures are located where required before beginning
installation.
◘Walls must be solid, plumb and square. This shower kit has been designed with some adjustability for minor alignment
problems, but a poor foundation will result in a poor installation.
◘If installation surface is not level, use leveling compound or mortar bed for proper installation.
◘Use drop cloth to protect base from damage during installation.
◘Do not install in areas where temperature may drop below 32ºF (0ºC).
◘Allow product to reach room temperature for 30 minutes before installation.
