General Information
Followed carefully, these installation instructions will
result in an easy, trouble-free installation of your Swan
Corporation product. Any deviations, additions, and/or
deletions from the prescribed installation, without prior
written approval of our Customer Relations Department,
will void the warranty covering this product. Not
following the directions could also result in personal
injuries, water damage, and other damage to floors,
pipes, walls, and other portions of your building or home.
Important Information
 If the shower floor is installed in conjunction with
a Swanstone SA Series Alcove Wall Kit, please
read both instruction manuals before proceeding.
The SA Series Alcove Wall Kits do not require the
installation of moisture-resistant wall board.
 If the shower floor is installed in conjunction with
solid surface wall panels or ceramic tile, the stud
wall framework must first have the appropriate
1/2” (13 mm) moisture-resistant wall board,
marine grade plywood, or cement board installed.
Note: Install the SA Series Alcove Wall Kit or other
appropriate wall board material after installing the
shower floor.
