NOTE:
When applying water-resistant wall material over the bath flanges, maintain a 1/4

between the bath surface and water-resistant wall material as shown in the illustration. This gap serves as
a contact barrier if water should ever seep behind the applied sealant.
Brush all dust and debris from the bath flange.
Cover the remaining flanges around the bath with water-resistant wall material. Maintain a 1/4
″
(6
mm) gap between the bath surface and bottom edge of the wall material.
Install the finished wall or tile over the water-resistant wall material. Maintain a 1/8
″
(3 mm) gap
between the finished wall material and the bath surface.
Seal the 1/8

sealant. Allow the sealant to set according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
