Important
The bath must be installed according to installation instructions (F258000) for the Verona™ whirlpool bath.
Follow the instructions to ensure that proper framing has been provided to support the J-Corner Shower Tower.
Finishing materials must be waterproof and sealed so that spray and condensation do not cause moisture dam-
age.
NOTE: The J-Corner Shower Tower has been partially pre-assembled for your convenience during
installation. The installer must still follow the instructions to ensure proper installation of the tower and
components (see page 11). We recommend that two persons perform this installation.

1. To locate the drilling template, place it over the bath. The template should be against the bath flange edge
and template corner 'A' should be at the bath's corner. (See Illustration 9.)
Note: If bath has been installed with finish materials over bath flange, trim an amount off the template along
the bath flange edge equal to the thickness of mortar and finish materials. (See Illustration 9A.)
2. The inner orange circle should be centered over the circular opening of the bathtub. (See Illustration 9.) The
edge marked “BATH FLANGE EDGE” must be parallel with the back wall. With the template lying flat, tape
firmly to eliminate any shifting.
3 Using a sharp center punch, lightly tap through the template hole center location marks onto the bath surface.
Remove the template.
4. Drill two (3) 9/32" diameter holes for the tower and five (5) 3/16" holes for the bottom rail. (Do not drill through
the template.)
IMPORTANT: THE HOLES MUST BE DRILLED AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE TO INSURE PROPER
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THE SHOWER DOOR.
