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 American Standard walls on a shower base
from another manufacturer.
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 base or wall installation.
• If installing over existing base, check that studs are plumb to the base, 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 base is level and studs are plumb to the sub floor.
(Fig. 1)
STEP 2. BASE INSTALLATION
• Follow Manufacturer's instructions for installing your base.
IMPORTANT: Shower base must be plumb and square to alcove for proper wall
installation.
STEP 3. TRIAL FITTING PANELS
• Place back panel first. The stud on each side of the back panel should contact the
entire length of the back panel. (Fig. 2)
• Fit the side panels by aligning pins on side panels with slots on 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 base. Make sure panels are resting flat on base.
• Align the front of the side walls and the front of the base. 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.
