If you will be installing a tub door, a backer board (note size in
1
Figure 1) must be installed on the back of both side walls. Apply
a bead of adhesive in the recess of each side wall and attach
board (Figure 1), butting board up to the top of the recess.

Dry fit the panels in the alcove. Position the back panel into the
2
alcove (the tabs on the bottom go into the notches of the tub).
Note: When in position against the back wall studs, the front
nailing flanges on the back panel must be straight and square
with the bathtub (Figure 4). Position each end panel so that
the hooks of the end panel go into the slots on the back wall
and then push down until panel tops are even (Figure 2).
Horizontal nailing flanges will be located at the top of all three
panels. Decide which side panel will need cutouts for plumbing
fixtures. Carefully locate, mark and cut holes using the proper
size hole saw. When all panels are properly set in the alcove,
mark a pencil line along the top edge of all panels and front
edge of end panels for reference when actually gluing in. Remove
all panels.

Locate and drill a 3/16" hole in the center of the nailing flange

at the top of the panel and centered on each stud (Figure 4).
Check that the vertical nailing flanges on both sides are
straight and square with the tub (you may need to manually
bend the nailing flanges to straighten). Hammer 3/4" galvanized
roofing nails through each hole and into the studs, securing
the wall panel. Add a bead of caulk down the front vertical
surface of the back panel that has the slots for the end wall
hooks (Figure 4).
