Final installation of back wall
STEP
Remove all walls from the structure.
Clean the bathtub and apply a bead of silicone on the
deck at 3/8" from the back fastening flange. Run the
bead of silicone the entire length of the bathtub and 1''
on each side as well.
Secure the wall to the wall studs with #8 x 1¾ "
screws (not included) in the previously drilled holes.
Also, secure the wall by the fastening flanges on the
side of the wall. Use the pre-dilled holes.
If needed, use shims to keep wall plumb, square
and leveled. (Cut shim excess)
IMPORTANT: HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
It is critical for the side wall
installation for there to be at least
⅛'' and no more than ⅜" between
the stud and the X fastener.
