INSTALLATION

Install on an adequately supported subfloor.
If the subfloor is not level and access to shim is difficult, install with a 1″ (25 mm) to 2″ (51 mm) bed of mortar cement.

1. Construct a plumb stud pocket according to the roughing-in information on the back page.
2. Install the rough plumbing.
3. Install the drain to the bath. Position a protective liner in the bath basin.
4. Staple the felt pad, if provided, to the subfloor so it will contact all the support feet.
5. Without a pad, we recommend the basin area be set in 1″ (25 mm) to 2″ (51 mm) of mortar cement.
6. Attach the apron brace, if provided. Lift and position the bath in the stud pocket.
7. Attach metal support clips to the flange at the locations shown in the roughing-in information.
8. Level the unit. Secure the metal support clips to the studs. Bend the tabs over the flange.
9. Install plastic attachment clips at all remaining stud locations.
10. With the unit level, shim under the support feet as needed.
11. Connect the bath drain to the drain pipe. Position a protective liner in the bath basin.
12. Custom Walls: Install furring strips, wallboard, and the finished wall as shown.
13. Sterling Wall Set: Install the back wall. Insert the tabs into the slots.
14. Sterling Wall Set: Measure, mark, and drill the faucet holes in the end wall.
15. Apply an L-shaped bead of silicone sealant at each outside corner.
16. Install the end walls. Engage the pins in the slots.
17. The front edges should be flush, with no more than a 1/32″ (1 mm) gap.
18. Starting at the bottom, install screws through the dimples to secure the flanges to the studs.
19. Secure the walls to the studs along the top. Use shims as needed.
20. Cover the framing with water-resistant wallboard. Install the finished wall material.
21. Install the faucet trim and accessories, and seal where they contact the wall panels.
22. After painting, apply 100% silicone sealant where the unit contacts the finished wall.
