3. Once properly positioned, mark the locations of the
upper and lower mounting brackets on the wall. Make a
small mark on each side of the panel for each bracket,
then set the shower panel aside. Draw a horizontal line
from one mark to the next for each bracket, using a
level for guidance.
4. Hold the provided mounting brackets up to the
marked locations on the wall. Center each of the
mounting brackets on their marked horizontal lines
and mark the locations of the mounting holes on the
wall.
1. Before installation, complete the in-wall plumbing.
The hot and cold water lines should be prepared 5”
on-center. Male fittings will be needed to make the
connection to the shower panel’s water lines.
2. With the assistance of another person, hold the
shower panel up to the wall at the desired mounting
location. Use a level to ensure that the shower panel is
aligned straight.
