Stud Wall Leaning Inward
7. Shimming Procedures
If either wall is not plumb, it will adversely effect the fit of the wall panels to the receptor and the
fit of the shower door to the walls.
If one or both of the stud pocket walls are leaning inward toward the receptor, the receptor will
have to be moved away from the stud pocket until the walls sit plumb.
If one or both of the stud pocket walls are leaning outward away from the receptor, you will have
to shim between the nail-in flange of the wall and stud pocket until the shower wall is plumb.
Depending on the severity of the out-of-plumb condition and the shimming required, you may have
to move your drain pipe and/or rough plumbing to align with the receptor in its plumb condition.

Position the shims so they are held in place by the fasteners
Note:
whenever possible. Drill pilot holes through the shims to
avoid splitting them when the fasteners are installed.
