8. Install the Wall Surrounds
Secure the Wall Surrounds
Attach the end wall to the back wall by engaging the wall interlocks and wall tabs.
Remove the temporary nail at the top of the back wall flange.
Verify that all walls are seated firmly on the bath, and that the back wall interlocks are engaged.
Verify that the front edges of the end walls are flush with the front edge of the bath. If there is a
gap, pull the end walls slightly forward to eliminate the gap.
CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. If using screws rather than nails, use non-tapered
flathead screws. Do not overtighten screws. Excessive tightening can damage the flange.
Starting from the bottom of the end walls and working up, secure the end walls to the studs with
large-head roofing nails or non-tapered flathead screws by nailing or drilling through the dimples
on the wall flange.
Secure the wall flanges across the top of the wall panels at every stud location. Add shims if
necessary to bring the studs into contact with the wall flange.
Seal the Wall Surrounds
NOTE: When applying water-resistant wall material over the bath flanges, maintain a 1/8" (3 mm) gap
between the wall surround and the wall material. This gap serves as a contact barrier if water should ever
seep behind the applied sealant.
Cover the flange around the wall surrounds and the flange around the bath with water-resistant
wall material, leaving a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between the flanges and the wall material.
Seal the gap between the flanges and the wall material with clear 100% silicone sealant. Allow the
sealant to set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
