There are 2 parts to the installation; firstly the assembly and secondly the installation. Please read the entire guide
before any assembly is commenced. Call us on 1300 559 121 should you have any queries.
Assembly: (Before commencing, ensure the assembled bathroom can be manoeuvred to the installation area.)
A.
Place the
Base
panel down, cut cardboard from the packaging and lay on the panel to provide protection.
B.
Dry position each wall panel on the base flange and with a pencil, mark the ends of each panel on the base
flange. This will indicate where to place sealant beads during assembly. Also label the back of each panel
1 through 8 in the order of assembly.
C.
Run a generous 4mm to 5mm unbroken bead of sealant (2 parallel smaller beads works well) on top of the
flange of the
Base
(and around the bolt holes) where the
Shower End Wall
panel will attach to the
Base
as per the following drawings
(always start with the Shower End Wall)
.
D.
Position the
Shower End Wall
panel and lightly bolt to the
Base
, have someone hold this panel while the
next panel is attached.
Always nip up and tighten horizontal join bolts before tightening vertical join bolts.
Electric, pneumatic or ratchet tools must not be used to tighten nuts and bolts. Use hand spanners only.
E.
Apply sealant (as before) to the top of the flange on the
Base
where the first
Back Wall
panel will sit and
also on the vertical edge of the previously fitted
Shower End Wall
panel where it will bolt to the first
Back Wall
.
(Sounds complicated? It means seal the joins before assembly.)
F.
Position the first
Back Wall
panel and lightly bolt first to the
Base
, and then to the
Shower End Wall
.
G.
Snug up the flanges and align the internal gelcoat faces of the 2 wall panels and the base, tap in or out and
adjust as necessary. Gently nip up the horizontal join bolts first and then the vertical join bolts.
H.
Apply sealant (if required) to the top of the
Base
flange where the second
Back Wall
panel will sit; also
on the vertical edge of the previously fitted first
Back Wall
where it will bolt to the second
Back Wall
.
I.
Position the second
Back Wall
panel and lightly bolt first to the
Base
, and then to the first
Back Wall
.
Snug up flanges, align faces and gently nip up bolts as before
(horizontal first)
.
J.
Similarly seal
(if required)
, attach, align and bolt the second
End Wall
panel.
K.
Similarly seal the remaining horizontal flange on the
Base
adjacent the shower, and the vertical flange of
the
Shower End Wall
(these joins must be fully sealed)
and then attach, align and bolt the larger of the
two
Front Wall
panels
(the one with 5 ‘tiles’)
to the
Base
and
Shower End Wall
.
L.
Similarly seal
(if required)
, attach, align and bolt the smaller of the
Front Wall
panels
(the one with 4
‘tiles’)
to the second
End Wall
panel.
M.
Carefully lift the
Ceiling Panel
into position, align and gently nip up bolts
(no initial sealant is required).
N.
Slightly tighten all nuts and bolts.
(Note: There is no need to over-tighten the bolts, a firm tighten will
suffice; do not stress the joins. Remove excess sealant.)
O.
Apply the final ‘visible’ bead of sealant to joins, ensuring joins are void free. Refer to the sealant guide.
Your Add-A-Bathroom is now assembled and ready for the installation of plumbing, electrical and accessories.
