INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
MARK TOP OF STUD  
STEP 4. INSTALLING SHOWER WALL IN ALCOVE  
CENTER ASSEMBLED  
WALL ON SHOWER  
• Apply a generous bead of adhesive below mark on each back wall stud only (follow  
adhesive manufacturer’s recommended instructions).  
• Position back panel in place and press firmly against studs to assure full contact  
with adhesive.  
• Apply adhesive to studs for side panel opposite the shower controls.  
• Push side panel firmly into place.  
• Apply adhesive to each stud for faucet side panel and push side panel firmly into  
place. (Fig. 6)  
• Reposition shims as needed.  
FIGURE 5. Mark studs.  
• Align the front of the side walls and the front of the shower base.  
• With walls properly positioned and shimmed, screw front flanges of side panels  
to studs.  
• Screw top flange of side panels to studs.  
• Screw back panel flange to studs.  
• After installation is complete, press panels against each stud to assure full contact  
with the adhesive. This will prevent the wall from “oil canning” and helps deaden the  
sound in finished alcove.  
STEP 5. CAULKING  
• When installed on an American Standard Shower Base, your American Standard  
Shower Wall is designed to function properly without being caulked. However, if you  
prefer the appearance of caulked joints, all seams must be caulked.  
• Caulk must be applied around holes for the faucet, diverter valve and shower head.  
FIGURE 6. Apply adhesive.  
• If your American Standard Shower Walls are used on a shower base other than an  
American Standard base, it will be necessary to caulk all seams.  
• If a shower door is installed, it will require caulking between the base, the walls and  
the door.  
• When caulking is required, always use a good grade silicone caulk for best results.  
STEP 6. FINISHING  
DRYWALL  
• Using lattice strips or 1/4" luan, shim studs so that drywall will overlap nail flange  
smoothly. (If your wall extends past the shown alcove, it may be necessary to shim  
these studs.) (Fig. 7)  
• Install 1/2" drywall on sides of alcove first then the back.  
TILE  
FIGURE 7. Shim studs.  
• Install 1/2" drywall up to (not over) wall nail flanges.  
• Tile may now be installed over drywall up to the wall.  
CLEANING  
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers.  
• If drywall mud or plaster gets on your shower, it may be carefully removed with a  
wooden scraper made from a piece of scrap wood.  
• Adhesive may be removed with mineral spirits.  
• Ideal cleaners are Soft Scrub Gel® or Comet Gel®.  
WARNING: Some cleaning products are not suitable for use. Read all labels carefully.  
DO NOT USE if they say “not suitable for use with ABS, acrylic or polystyrene”.

SCRATCH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS  
1. For effective scratch removal and polishing, you will need to purchase these items:  
1 sheet 1000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper  
1 sheet 1500 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper  
SUPERFICIAL  
SCRATCH  
2000 grit  
1 sheet 2000 grit 3M® wet-dry sandpaper  
1 small container of 3M® rubbing compound #05933  
These items can be purchased at most auto supply stores that provide supplies to  
professional paint and body shops. Call before you go.  
Not all auto supply stores will have these items.  
LIGHT SCRATCH  
1500 - 2000 grit  
2. Start sanding with 2000 grit paper. Use small squares of paper about 2" x 2" for all  
sanding and use lots of water. The water serves as both a lubricant and to prevent residue  
buildup on the paper. Residue buildup shortens the effective life of the paper and may  
scratch the surface you are trying to polish.  
MEDIUM SCRATCH  
1000 - 2000 grit  
3. 2000 grit paper is the finest grit available (the higher the number, the finer the grit). If you  
can’t remove all of the scratches with 2000 grit, switch to 1500 grit. Remember to wash  
the paper frequently with water as you sand.  
4. If all of the scratches cannot be removed with 1500 grit, switch to 1000 grit. This should  
remove most fine scratches. If you have deep scratches or a gouge, coarser paper may  
have to be used (see chart to right). Be careful! Using grit that is too coarse may actually  
put in more scratches than it removes.  
DEEP GOUGE  
600 - 2000 grit  
5. Once you have removed all of the scratches by sanding the finest paper possible, repeat  
the sanding process using successively finer grits of paper until you have once again  
sanded with 2000 grit.  
SCRATCH / SANDPAPER GUIDE  
6. Now use 3M® rubbing compound #05933 on a soft, damp cloth. Polish using considerable  
pressure to produce a smooth, shiny finish.

THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR AN INTENDED PURPOSE. (Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long  
an implied limited warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations and exclusions

the product as a demo. If this demonstration unit is subsequently sold to a customer, the dealer may transfer the remaining period of the
