extension Panel Kit Pre-Fit (continued)
Prefitting the extension panel clips:
Install the clips on the flange of the tub behind the seat. Depending on the tub model being installed, the panel
may have clips that are either pre-attached (seen on previous page) or come separately with the packaging
(see below). If they work for the given application then use them. If they do not fit for a particular situation then
screws or bolts can be used to join the extension panel to the tub flange.

DO NOT ATTACH THE PANEL YET, JUST GET EVERYTHING PRE-FIT.
Bracing the extension panels:
Attach a support to the wall for the wall edge of the extension panel. You may use any appropriate material to
properly brace the extension panel as long as it complies with local, state, and any federal codes. The most
commonly used bracing material is a section of 2x4 lumber nailed or screwed to the wall studs. Make sure the
material is level and stable.
Steel hanger brackets (not provided) similar to the one shown here can also be used and are available for
purchase at most local retail hardware supply stores.
