Helpful Hints
Read all instructions carefully BEFORE starting the
installation. Familiarize yourself with the various
parts of the kit.
The variety of installations possible for this kit may
require procedures other than those shown. Ensure
that the framework construction is correctly sized,
plumb, and square.
Save the large cardboard box for protection of the
shower floor during the installation process.
Store unused materials away from the work area to
prevent accidental damage.
If the shower is placed over a garage or on an
outside wall, care must be taken to ensure that the
shower plumbing is properly insulated from cold
temperatures.
