1. Construct the Stud Framing

NOTE: Check the dimensions of the showerhead trim ring if possible. If the diameter of the trim ring

exceeds 2-1/8″ (5.4 cm), then mount the shower arm above the shower wall in an appropriate spot.

The showerhead may be installed in the shower wall or above the shower wall. Take into account

the height of the shower users when determining the installation location. The dimensions provided

are for a shower wall installation only.

Construct the framing according to the roughing-in and framing diagrams.

NOTE: If the framing is different from that shown, additional bracing may be required to ensure proper

wall adhesion.

Add any bridging or support needed if you are installing grab bars or towel bars. Refer to the

accessory manufacturer’s instructions.

Add 2x4 bridging between the studs nearest to the front edges of the receptor on each wall at a

center height of 5″ (12.7 cm). The receptor nailing ﬂange will attach to the bridging and studs.

Cut a 2x4 ledger board to 34″ (86.4 cm) long and cut a second 2x4 ledger board to 32-1/2″ (82.6 cm)

long.

The top of the ledger boards should be 4-3/8″ (11.1 cm) above the subﬂoor. Attach the ledger boards

to the studs to provide rim support. Attach the 34″ (86.4 cm) board ﬁrst, then the shorter board so it

butts against the ﬁrst board.

The plumbing may be installed in the shower wall or above the shower wall. The supplied

dimensions should be used on either wall.

If the unit is installed against a masonry wall, use furring strips to secure the unit. The furring strip

conﬁguration should match the stud conﬁguration shown.

3. Locate the Drain Pipe and Shower Receptor

Locate the Drain Pipe

NOTE: The drain system is designed for a 2″ (51 mm) drain pipe that is ﬂush with the subﬂoor.

Determine the location of the drain pipe using the dimensions illustrated.

Cuta5″ (127 mm) to 5-1/2″ (140 mm) hole in the subﬂoor. This will provide adequate clearance for

the drain system.

Install the drain pipe according to the dimensions shown in the illustration above. Verify the drain

pipe is self-supporting and strapped down.

Locate the Shower Base

NOTE: The subﬂoor under the shower base must be level. Adjust the subﬂoor with leveling compound as

needed. Do not shim.

Place the shower base ﬁrmly against the two adjacent walls.

Verify the shower base is ﬂush against the studs.

If the shower base is not ﬂush against the studs, use shims between the nailing ﬂange and stud wall

as needed.

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 appropriate shower wall panel. When

determining the valve cutout location, measure the distance from the top ledge of the shower

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. Ensure the valve cover plate is

large enough to cover the holes.

Drill 1/4″ (6 mm) pilot holes at the marked locations on the appropriate shower wall panel.

From the ﬁnished surface of the shower wall panel, 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 tooth

blade.

Protect the ﬁnished surface with masking tape before cutting.

8. Seal the Shower Receptor and Prepare the Stud Wall

IMPORTANT! Follow the sealant manufacturer’s recommended application and drying instructions.

NOTE: Thoroughly clean and dry dust, dirt, and grease from the shower base where the sealant will be

applied.

surround.

Sterling 13 1100676-2-F

9. Install the Wall Surround

Install the Shower Wall Panels

Carefully place the shower wall panels directly onto the shower base. Avoid scraping the sealant off

the joint.

Ensure the wall surround is plumb and conﬁrm the shower wall panels are evenly spaced on the

shower base, as this will play a critical role in door alignment.

If the walls are not plumb, attach furring strips to the studs as needed to ensure the wall installation

is plumb. Shim as needed. Repeat until the shower walls are plumb.

If installing the shower wall panels over wallboard, apply adhesive on the wallboard, covering

enough area to provide a secure bond.

Press the wall surround ﬁrmly into the corner against the studs or wallboard.

Starting from the outside edge and working toward the corner, secure the wall surround using

drywall screws every 12″ (305 mm) to 16″ (406 mm) along the nailing ﬂange. Make sure the bottom

of the walls stay in place on the base.

Install the Finished Wall

Install the wallboard with the factory edge (the paperbound edge) a maximum of 1/4″ (6 mm)

above the ﬁnished, concave surface of the shower wall panels.

Mud, tape, and ﬁnish the wallboard.

Finish the surrounding wall. The ﬂange is 1/8″ (3 mm) thick.
