"
Ensure that the floor is level, correct if necessary.
"
Location of Mirolin supplied drain for shower stalls is
shown in Figure 1, to be assembled as in Figure 7.
"
Drain pipe must be vertical.
"
Trim drain pipe as required to meet drain assembly.
"
Place the unit into position and plumb vertical, shim if
necessary.
"
Dry fit drain to check position. Refer to figure 7.
"
Mark and drill 1/4” pilot holes for plumbing fixtures.
"
Verify that the holes are in the right location.
"
From the finished side of the unit use the correct size
hole saw to cut the openings, using the pilot holes as
guides.
"
Remove the unit and cement the drain body into
place.
INSTALLATION
"
Carefully position the shower into the framing and
push flush against the framework walls.
"
Install the drain according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use a mildew resistant silicone
bathroom caulking to seal the drain to the top surface
of the shower.
"
Drill and countersink 1/8” holes on the flanges. 10 on
each side and 4 across the top. Refer to Figure 3.
"
Fasten the acrylic unit to the framing using drywall
screws. Note that over tightening or burying the head
of the screw will cause the acrylic to crack.
"
Apply silicone caulking over the head of the screws
and around the openings for the fittings when they
are installed.
"
Finish with drywall as shown in Figure 4 or 5.
"
After installation is complete, remove the protective
film from the front of the acrylic shower unit.
INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
It is important to remove all construction debris and foreign
materials.
Remove construction dirt and residue with a mild liquid
detergent. DO NOT USE abrasive cleaners, scouring
compounds and pads, metal scrapers, steel wool, or other
materials that could damage or dull the surface of the
shower.
Remove plaster carefully
with a blunt wooden block
having rounded edges.
Remove paint and other stubborn stains with isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol.
DO NOT USE products such as acetone ( nail polish
remover), dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners,
gasoline, pine oil, etc.
Test the installation after completing the plumbing, but
before enclosing the shower stall and finishing the
surroundings.
MAINTENANCE
The acrylic sheet which forms the surface of your shower
provides one of the most durable
surfaces found in
modern bathrooms. Keep it bright and smooth with mild
liquid household detergent, soap and water, or foaming
cleansers. NEVER USE aromatic solvents, abrasive
cleaners, scouring compounds or pads, strong liquid
cleansers, or other material that could damage or dull the
surface of the bath.
We recommend the use of Mirogloss Acrylic and
®
Fiberglass Polish before use and then periodically to
preserve the appearance of your bath. Mirogloss Acrylic
®
and Fiberglass Polish is available from your dealer.
Restoring Surface Gloss.
Restore surface gloss by
applying a very fine rubbing compound and polishing the
surface by hand or with a power buffer. Finish with an
application of Mirogloss or a good quality automotive
®
wax.
Minor Repairs to Surface.
Remove minor scratches and
scuffs as follows. First, wet sand the area with 600 grit wet
sandpaper until the surface is smooth. Then, restore the
gloss as described under RESTORING SURFACE
GLOSS.
