5. INSTALLATION
MODULE PREPARATION
Install the drain to the module according to the drain
manufacturer's instructions.
Lay out the location of the supply or mixing valve holes on
the the back side of the module.
NOTE: To enhance the finished appearance of the
installation, pay special attention to placement of the
exposed plumbing fittings. Try to position the valve(s) and
shower fittings where they will complement the tile-wall
appearance of the module.
Drill a 1/4" diameter pilot hole for the fittings at each
marked location.
NOTE: For multiple installations (if the supply fittings are
located accurately during rough plumbing) make a
template of lightweight plywood. This template should
contain pilot holes to mark hole locations on the back side
of the module.
NOTE: Protect the bottom surface of the module to
prevent damage to the unit.
From the finished face of the module, drill the fitting holes
to the required sizes using a hole-cutting saw.
Clean the module recess thoroughly to reduce the risk of
product damage.
INSTALL MODULE
Slide the module into the recess. Use care to avoid
damaging the module.
Plumb and level the front, side, and back nailing-in
flanges, and use shims to level the rim of the module.
Predrill on 8" (20.3cm) centers for the front nailing-in
flanges. Predrill the side and back on the stud centers. In
metal stud construction, drill holes through the nailing-in
flanges and metal studs before fastening with sheet metal
screws.
The module must be plumb and level to ensure proper
shower door installation.
Use #6 large-head galvanized nails to fasten the front and
top nailing-in flanges to the studs at the pre-drilled 8"
centers. Be careful to prevent damage to all finished
module surfaces.
Complete the drain installation. Rough-in the shower,
valve, and supply connections at this time.
