factor of the desired position. 10” of clearance above the tallest user is recommended.
• Once the template is straight and in the desired position, secure the template by using tape or temporary
adhesive to hold in place.
• The template is the exact size of the shower panel. The bottom of the template should be above your existing
shower valve. Recommended that there is a ½” clearance above the valve.

the template to the closest approximate hole
position on the top of the template which
corresponds to where the shower outlet pipe
is. Refer to this distance as "d1".
Add 1 inch to your "d1" measurement.•
Using the length of "d1" as a guide, measure •
this length on the Main PVC Supply Line Hose
(Part #8) and shear the excess length from the
hose.
Draw a level horizontal line based on
the lower-edge of the selected hole
