17. OPTIONAL K-1515 APRON INSTALLATION
NOTE: For use with K-1200 and K-1201 models.
Make sure the bath is installed according to the
instructions. Provide backing on each of the recessed
walls for the nailing-in flange.
After bath is leveled and set, apply the vinyl trim strip to
the bath. Carefully apply a 1/16” bead of clear silicone
adhesive (provided) onto the vinyl strip as illustrated.
Apply vinyl strip to the underside of the bath rim, being
careful to align the lip of the strip to the bath rim as shown
in the inset. Immediately wipe off any excess sealant.
Tilt apron and carefully slip apron into groove on
underside of rim.
Temporarily tack a nail in the top hole of the nailing-in
flange on each side of the apron and ensure that the
apron is positioned as close to the bath rim as possible.
Plumb the apron and secure the nailing-in flange using
#6d large-head galvanized nails.
