American Standard 030Y1.BW.XXX Instructions d'installation
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
• Allow panels to reach room temperature before installation.
• Before you begin, locate appropriate product reference (see page 1).
• Read installation instructions carefully before starting project.
• Keep instructions for warranty information.
• Caulk will be necessary when installing bathtub walls.
STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE
• Strip alcove to the bare studs. It may be necessary to add a stud at each front corner to
provide attachment for side panels as shown in appropriate stud layout on page 1.
• Check that there are no screws, nails or staples in the studs which would interfere with
the tub or wall installation.
• If installing over existing tub, check that studs are plumb to the tub, then go to Step 3.
• For new construction, place studs as shown in appropriate stud layout on page 1.
• Check that the sub floor for the tub is level and studs are plumb to the sub floor. (Fig. 1)
STEP 2. TUB INSTALLATION
• Follow Manufacturer's instructions for installing your tub.
IMPORTANT: Tub must be plumb and square to alcove for proper wall installation.
STEP 3. TRIAL FITTING PANELS
• Place back panel first then fit side panels by aligning pins on side panels with slots on
back panel. (Fig. 2)
• The stud on each side of the back panel should contact the entire length of the back
panel. (Fig. 3)
• If the studs and back panel do not contact correctly you will need to shim for support.
(Fig. 4)
• Center assembled wall on tub. Make sure panels are resting flat on tub.
• Align the front of the side walls and the front of the tub. This makes drywall installation
easier.
• If necessary, shim between wall panels and studs to provide a tight fit between the back
and side panels. (Fig. 4)
• Measure and mark all control holes. After removing side panels, drill or saw necessary
holes.
IMPORTANT: Drill or saw holes from the front side. Cover area to be cut with
masking tape to prevent chipping and scratching.
• Mark the height of the wall on each stud to indicate where to apply adhesive on the
stud. (Fig. 5)
• Remove panels from alcove.
