Installation Instructions

1. Do NOT store units out of doors. Keep out of sunlight

and exposure to weather.

1. Remove wall section(s) from the base unit. Carefully

move all parts into the installation area. Apply a bead

of 100% Silicone Caulk to all joints. Re-install the wall

sections. Align all parts by making sure the wall

sections using the factory provided alignment pins

and slots. Units have one or more alignment pins

with corresponding slots that help to assure the parts

line up correctly. Once the 100% Silicone Caulk is

applied and the parts re-assembled, wipe away any

excess caulk that squeezes out. The unit will be

installed into the framing alcove as a one piece unit.

The unit must be installed completely level.

Alternate Connection: If installing piece-by-piece into

the alcove, make sure the pins and slots are aligned

correctly. When the 100% silicone Caulking is cures the

parts are solidly held similar to a one piece unit when

secured to the framing.

See Photo 1.

The valve wall should be the last wall to be installed.

PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Thank you for purchasing Laurel Mountain Bathware.

For best results, please read and follow all directions carefully.

READ INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY

BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

3. Review Figures 7 and 8 to make sure alcove is of proper size.

If a ﬁre rated alcove is required, approved ﬁnish

material must be installed prior to unit installation. Access to

drain and supply connections should be provided so that

these connections may be made after the unit has been

installed. Framing alcove must reﬂect dimensions on diagrams

to permit unit installation. Note in diagrams the required

opening in the ﬂoor to provide clearance for the drain ﬁtting

and connection.

4. These units are trimmed to be self-leveling at the factory.

If the sub-ﬂoor at the installation site is not perfectly level, it will

be MANDATORY to provide shims under the back edge of the

unit to level the unit.

See Figure 1 if shimming is required.

2. The drain and/or oveﬂow assembly should be installed

on the unit according to the manufacturers instructions.

Apply a bead of 100% Silicone Caulk around the drain

hole opening in the unit before installing the ﬁtting.

3. Locate supply lines for control valves and shower head.

Measure and mark locations of ﬁttings on the ﬁnished

side of the unit. Re-check locations and drill 1/4” pilot

holes. Cut holes to ﬁnal size using the appropriate

size hole saw.

4. Carefully carry the unit to the installation location and

trial ﬁt into the framing alcove. Check for level along

the front of the side walls and on top of the apron/dam.

If unit is not level, shims will need to be located on the

sub-ﬂoor to support the back edge of the unit.

Remove the unit and secure the shims as required to

make the unit level when installed. Remove and

adjust shims if required to assure level and proper

support. Secure shims so they will not move.

Installation Instructions

5. Plumb and level the unit in two directions: Place a level

on top of the apron and along the ﬁnished ﬂat area of

the top of all walls. Once the unit is leveled, if any gap

appears between the apron and sub-ﬂoor, ﬁll this gap

with solid material. When satisﬁed with the ﬁt, pre-drill

1/4” holes through all mounting ﬂanges 8” O.C. vertical

and at each stud horizontally. Attach the unit to the

framing with 6D galvanized screws.

6. Make connections to supply and drain lines. Strap all

lines to the framing. Install ﬁnished trim. Caulk along all

ﬁttings as necessary.

1. Install drain and/or overﬂow assembly on the unit

following drain manufactures instructions. If required,

place shims under the back edge and secure. Place

the base unit in the alcove location. Level the base.

Check for level and plumb in two directions.

When level, secure to framing using galvanized screws.

2. Place a continuous bead of 100% silicone calulk along

the top ﬂat surface of the base where the wall sections

will sit. Make sure caulk surrounds all guide pins.

For three and four piece units, apply silicone up the

vertical seams where the parts will meet.

3. Place the walls on top of the base, aligning the slots

with the pins. For three piece units, install the valve wall

last. Repeat the same for the opposite wall.

Make sure the parts are seated in the silicone, and that

all seams are even and in alignment. Press all seams

together to assure a tight ﬁt. Wipe away any excess

caulk before it cures. See Figure 5.

4. For four piece units, install the back wall ﬁrst. Install the

left and right walls (valve wall last). Press the seams

together to assure a tight ﬁt. Make sure all seams are

in alignment. Wipe away any excess caulk before it

cures.

5. Re-check to make sure all seams are even and in

alignment with the base section. Fasten the walls to

the framing using 6D galvanized screws through the

mounting ﬂanges. Fasten every 8” O.C. along the

vertical ﬂanges and into each framing stud along the

top horizontally.

6. Make connections to supply and drain lines. Strap all

lines to the framing. Install ﬁnished trim.

Caulk if necessary.

7. Check for leaks before installing wall board and closing

off plumbing access. NOTE: Laurel Mountain is not

responsible for leaking connections.

7. Check for leaks before installing wall-board and closing

off access to the plumbing.

8. Finish wall board as detailed in Figure 2.

Sectional bathing units are shipped from the factory with

screws or nuts and bolts connecting the parts together.

If installing the unit fastened together as one piece, follow

instructions on Page 1 of this manual.

The alignment pins should allow you to more easily install

the unit in the framing alcove. Read and understand the

instructions on this page since the alignment pins must be

inserted in a speciﬁc direction.

Note: If using shims it is MANDATORY these shims are in

place and in proper contact to assure structural integrity

of the bathing unit.

Plumb and level the unit in two directions:

Place a level on top of the apron, and along the

finished flat area at the top of the wall. Once the unit

is leveled, if any gap appears between the apron and

sub floor fill the gap with solid material. When satisfied

with the fit, attach the unit to framing with 6d galvanized

nails or screws through the predrilled holes in the

mounting flanges. If required, drill additional holes

through the flanges in order to attach the unit to each

stud.

Make connections to supply and drain

lines. Strap all lines to the framing. Install finish

trim. Caulk as necessary.
