13. Fix bath to floor, ensuring that all nuts are tight and that the bath is level. Re-adjust if
necessary. Trail fit the panel(s) to verify height is correct.
Note: Untrimmed panel fitment requires the height of 560mm (510 to trimmed edge of
bath). Remember to allow for floor covering thicknesses.
14. Connect services, test for satisfactory operation of fittings and ensure there are no
leaks.
15. Fit the support leg (Ref. L) to the black cap previously fastened to the framework.
Ensure that the leg is adjusted correctly to support the rim but not force the rim
upwards.
16. Tile down to the height of the bath rim leaving a 3-4mm gap for waterproof sealant.
An extruded sealing strip can be used for the bath to wall joint as an alternative to
waterproof sealant. Protect bath during tiling.

Fixing the bath panel

17. Pre fit front panel ensuring that the ends of the
panel are vertical. Mark a line along the front of
the panel on the floor. Remove panel and fix the
plastic panel clips onto the floor/wall(s) (Figure 7).
The front of the block at the floor should be 3mm
back from the marked line.
Note: The front panel may touch the support
leg foot, (Ref. L), depending on its position.
Remedy this by removing a small amount of
material from the panel return.
18. Fit the end panel by using a wooden batten
along the floor for support and engaging the
top of the panel in front of the spring clips.
19. Fit front bath panel in position and press the
edges into the panel clips until fully engaged.
Note: Fit end panel before front panel. If the front
panel does not easily insert under the panel clips,
then release the screws by a quarter of a turn
and retry.
Note: if the front panel has had the returns trimmed
off, then the plastic panel clips will not grip the
panel base. In this instance, use wooden blocks
(not supplied) to secure
the panel to the floor/wall. Screws with cover caps are supplied for this method of fixing.
