10. Complete the Finished Wall
For Receptor-Only Installations
NOTE:
A gap between the edge of the receptor and the finished wall, when sealed, helps to reduce the
possibility of water seeping into the wall material. Apply the water-resistant wall material over the
nailing-in flanges leaving a 1/4
″
(6 mm) gap between the receptor and the wall material.
NOTE:
When installing water-resistant wall material and finished wall material, provide properly sized
holes for the plumbing fixtures.
Cover the framing around the wall surrounds and the shower receptor with water-resistant wall
material.
Seal the joints between the receptor and the water-resistant wall material with silicone sealant.
Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the finished wall over the water-resistant wall material.
Seal the joints between the receptor and the finished wall material with silicone sealant. Allow the
sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Seal the joints between the receptor and the finished floor and the baseboard with silicone sealant.
Allow the sealant to cure according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
11. Install the Grab Bar
Grab Bar and/or Transfer Seat Installation
WARNING: Risk of property damage or bodily injury.
Do not install grab bars or transfer seats to
Sterling wall surrounds without having a factory installed backer kit present. Install only those
components that are properly sized for the installed backer kit. Improper installation can damage the
components and may cause injury.
Shower units can be ordered with a backer kit that will enable the installation of a grab bar or a seat on the
wall surround. Only factory assembled grab bars or seats are shipped as ADA compliant. However, units
with backer kits are ADA adaptable if the grab bar or seat design and installation also fully meet the ADA
requirements. The grab bar or seat must be supplied by the installer and must be correctly sized for the
installed backer kit.
For wall surrounds with backer kits only, install the grab bar or transfer seat according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
