Completed Add-A-Shower Kit (for built-in tubs)
Over rim diverter spout (1/2" ips) 50" riser and shower head Wall support and a wall surround from a mobile home supply company:
Includes 2 wall pieces and 1 corner caddy.
*Composed of ABS Plastic with calves-grain texture.
(24) Rivets are strongly recommended for wall surround installation in conjunction with liquid or spray adhesive. Corner Caddies require liquid adhesive.
The faucet is on the "deck" now, but not adjacent to the wall- so will
I have to come up with some type of support for the riser that connects to the wall. Can I do this through the surround and caulk around it?
As far as the wall surround, can I put this on sheetrock that has been primed without other backing? It also says to use rivets, I assume at the top and sides of the surround panels and not throughout, but the instructions online are unclear as to where to put them.
I'm sorry this is so long, but I can't afford to do this but once and don't want the same floor problems much less wet wall problems.
Any advice will be appreciated.
