Apply adhesive
to the studs.
Apply silicone sealant
to the receptor.
7. Cut the Supply Holes
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Check and recheck the valve and showerhead locations before
drilling. The hole(s) must be in the correct location.
CAUTION: Risk of injury. Wear safety glasses while cutting or drilling.
Mark the center of the supply valve on the front side of the end wall. When determining the valve
cutout location, measure the distance from the top ledge of the receptor.
The holes should align with the rough plumbing dimensions from the "Construct the Stud Framing"
section, and should be on the centerline of the wall panel at the correct distances from the floor.
Refer to the valve manufacturer's instructions for proper hole size. Make sure the valve cover plate
is large enough to cover the holes.
Drill 1/4" (6 mm) diameter pilot holes at the marked locations on the appropriate shower wall.
From the finished surface of the wall, cut the holes required for the valving. A hole saw is preferred,
but if the correct size is not available it can be cut using a jigsaw with a fine metal or plastic cutting
blade.
Protect the finished surface with masking tape before cutting.
8. Seal the Receptor and Prepare the Stud Wall
Apply a 1/4" (6 mm) minimum bead of mildew resistant clear 100% silicone sealant around the
receptor where the shower walls come in contact with the receptor.
Apply a bead of adhesive down each stud that will come in contact with the back panel.
