INSTALLATION
G H I
Note:
Installing a recessed soap dish is done during the soap dish wall installation.
Step 1: If there is an existing soap dish opening, measure from the plumbing wall to the beginning of the soap dish opening and from the top of the tub up
to the bottom of the soap dish opening.
If there is not an existing soap dish, or the customer would like it relocated, take the same aforementioned measurements once the customer has approved
a location.
Step 2: Hold the soap dish on the existing wall in the proper position, and trace the opening with a Sharpie® marker.

Step 3: Make a rough opening, large enough to accommodate the new soap dish in the marked location. (Image H)
Step 4: Transfer the pre-recorded measurements onto the new wall and draw a box to accept the new recessed soap dish, typically 5” square. Double
check your position measurements.

Tip:
When installing a wall with a soap dish cutout, prime and add butyl tape around the perimeter of the opening in addition to the vertical
strips normally applied to the wall.

Step 5: Make the appropriate cuts to the new wall.
Step 6: Drill a starter hole with a 1
¼” hole saw in a corner of the marked opening to prevent cracking. Cut out the opening with a jigsaw. (Image J)
Step 7: Test t the soap dish cutout to the rough opening and make sure it’s a good t. Proceed using standard wall surround installation instructions on
page 32.

Step 8: Place butyl tape around the back perimeter of the soap dish, staying
½” away from the edge. Remove the release paper.
