IMPORTANT! This product is for new construction or complete remodel (down to the studs) of tiled

showers only. Install this product to the studs only. Tile may be installed surrounding the product

when the installation is complete.

Please read these instructions carefully. This will help you to avoid costly mistakes.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

This installation is easiest when performed by two people.

Unpack and inspect the product for damage. If you ﬁnd any damage, do not install the product.

Report the speciﬁc problem to your dealer immediately. After inspection, return the product to the

The seat must be installed to adequately supported, plumb walls.

Make sure the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all ﬁnished wall

material to expose the stud wall/framing.

1. Construct the Stud Framing

Install the drain and supply pipes according to local plumbing codes.

NOTICE: Plan the shower area around the desired placement of the seat. Ensure the placement of the seat

will be free of obstructions (such as pipes or electrical boxes).

Build the shower area out of 2x4 or 2x6 lumber with the centers of the studs 16″(406 mm) apart.

Install the pipes, valves, and showerhead ﬁttings according to the plumbing manufacturer’s

instructions.

If applicable, install a watertight membrane to the ﬂoor.

Install the shower basin at this time. Refer to the shower basin manufacturer’s installation

instructions.

2. Reinforce the Stud Pocket

IMPORTANT! Before securing the studs to the framing, conﬁrm that the studs are not warped.

Measure the height of the framing, and cut the studs to that measurement.

Install the studs to the outside of the framing with appropriate fasteners (not provided).

Verify the front surface of the studs are ﬂush. Plane the studs, if necessary.

Attach studs to outside

of determined location

with fasteners.

3. Prepare the Site

Step 1

Wrap and staple water barrier plastic sheeting into the stud pocket.

Place and staple water barrier plastic sheeting over the remaining shower area.

If applicable, install the shower basin at this time.

Step 2

Determine the desired seat height from the ﬁnished ﬂoor. A seat height of 18″(457 mm) from the

ﬁnished ﬂoor is recommended.

Verify that this height will not compromise the watertight membrane that may be present in the

ﬂoor when fasteners are installed to the bottom ﬂange of the seat. Adjust the height, if necessary.

Position and level the seat unit on the studs with the seat at the desired height. Mark the corners of

the seat unit on the studs, then set the seat aside.

Step 3

IMPORTANT! Select wall material that is water resistant and meets local building codes.

IMPORTANT! A ﬂush transition must exist between the wall material and the attachment ﬂange.

Verify the wall material equals the thickness of the attachment ﬂange, which is 1/4″(6 mm). This

will ensure a ﬂush transition. If a ﬂush transition does not exist, either the studs or attachment

ﬂange must be shimmed before installing the wall material.

Install wall material around the stud pocket, leaving an opening 43-3/8″(1102 mm) in height and

17-1/2″(445 mm) in width for the seat unit.

4. Secure the Unit

Position the unit over the stud pocket.

Thread a fastener (provided) 1″(25 mm) into the mounting hole at the top right corner.

Level the unit, then thread a fastener 1″(25 mm) through the mounting hole at the top left corner.

Alternating from side to side, as shown, partially thread fasteners through the remaining mounting

holes.

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. To avoid cracking the acrylic, do not overtighten the fasteners.

Fully tighten the fasteners, starting at the top and alternating from side to side.

Using 100% silicone sealant, ﬁll in the groove between the attachment ﬂange and the wall material

around the perimeter of the unit. If needed, use a putty knife to press the silicone sealant into the

gap. Wipe off any excess sealant.

Allow the sealant to cure before proceeding.

5. Complete the Installation

Apply mesh tape between the unit and the wall material.

NOTICE: When planning the tile layout, the tile should conceal the installed fasteners on the unit

AND allow for a gap between the edge of the tile and the inner edge of the attachment ﬂange.

TIP: To ensure the ﬁrst row of tile is level, temporarily level and attach pieces of lumber to the bottom

portion of the wall material at a height less than a full tile. Remove the pieces of lumber once the adhesive

has set, then attach the remaining tile.

Plan the tile installation for the walls, then mark the plan on the wall material.

Attach the tile with tile adhesive or thin-set mortar designed for wet environments.

Allow the tile adhesive or thin-set mortar to cure.

Remove the pieces of lumber from the bottom portion of the wall material.

Apply grout to the tile, except for the expansion joints in the alcove.

Wipe the area with a damp sponge, allow the grout to set, then buff the tile with a soft cloth.

If desired, tape off the area adjacent to the groove where the tile and the acrylic unit meet. This will

help create a straight, uniform bead of silicone sealant.

Apply a bead of silicone sealant, that is color-matched to the grout, in the groove and any other

expansion joints.

Remove the tape once the sealant has cured.

Apply grout sealant to the tile.

Apply mesh tape.

Allow gap between unit and wall

material when installing tile.

Fill gap with

color-matched

silicone sealant.
