  2. Install the rough plumbing.
  3. Install the drain to the bath.
  4. Staple the felt pad, if provided, to the subfloor so it will contact all the support feet.

  6. Attach the apron brace, if provided. Lift and position the bath in the stud pocket.

  13. STERLING Wall Set: Install the back wall. Insert the tabs into the slots.
  14. Measure, mark, and drill the faucet holes in the end wall.
  15. Install the end walls. Engage the pins in the slots.
  16. The front edges should be flush, with no more than a 1/32″ (1 mm) gap.
  17. Starting at the bottom, install screws through the dimples to secure the flanges to the studs.
  18. Secure the walls to the studs along the top. Use shims as needed.
