GUIDELINES
FOR UNIT
INSTALLATION
The unit must also be positioned square in
the alcove framework. The use of shim or
filler material behind the fastening flange
at each framing member may be required
to maintain the unit in the proper position.
After the unit is confirmed level and
square in the alcove, drill a 1/8 inch
hole through the fastening flange at each
framing member and every 8 inches along
the front fastening flanges. Secure the
unit in place across the back wall first,
followed by the flanges at each end
and along the front flanges, using 1-1/4
inch long screws or other appropriate
fasteners. Continuously check to confirm
the unit remains square within the alcove
as it is being secured. (Figures 3a & 3b).
WARNING!
THE UNIT BOTTOM SHOULD BE
CLEAR OF ALL POTENTIALLY
DAMAGING DEBRIS AND THE
SURFACE PROTECTED BEFORE
STEPPING INSIDE.
CAUTION: It is advisable to protect
the unit surface with a thin plywood or
cardboard shield while fastening the
flange to the framing.
Water Supply and Drain Connections
Refer to, and follow, the assembly and
installation instructions provided with the
supply valves and drain system. Carefully
check all fittings and connections for
