Before You Begin

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Locate the rough plumbing for the drain in accordance with the roughing-in dimensions for your
particular model.
A variety of installations are possible. These instructions show suggested installation procedures,
your particular installation may require other construction techniques.
Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the required tools, materials, and
installation sequences. Follow the sections that pertain to your particular installation. This will help
you to avoid costly mistakes.
Avoid flexing the side walls to prevent damage to the module.
Unpack and inspect the shower module for damage. If you find any damage, do not install the
module. Report the specific problem to your dealer immediately.
After inspection, return the shower module to the carton until you are ready to install it.
Insulate all exterior walls before installation.
You must install this shower module to an adequately supported, level subfloor.
Be sure that you have enough access to move the module into the construction area.
One-piece shower modules are too large to fit through standard door openings. Set the module
within the installation area prior to the completion of the framing. Another option is not to install
the studs in one wall or install the studs without nailing, to allow you to move the module into
place.
Before installation, provide access to all connections. Because the module is one-piece, the drain and
overflow connections cannot be made by reaching over the end of the module.
Make sure the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all finished wall
material to expose the framing and remove all floor coverings to expose the subfloor.
Provide properly dimensioned framing.
