I just measured from the wall, ceiling and shower pan to the center of the mixing valve. Plotted it out and used a hole saw with a pilot bit to drill the hole. If you read the directions from your mixing valve it will give you a range of what circumference the hole should be. If I remember correctly mine was 3 inch. After install I also ran silicone around the hole to make it more water resistant.

The best way to know how far out of plumb your walls are is by using a long level or a laser level vertically, draw a line of reference and then measure at the top, middle and bottom of your wall to the reference line to reference line to see if there is a difference. The laser level is the quickest and you don't have to make any marks, only hold the tape out to the laser line.

sorry for another question, as another has mentioned this is the best video I have seen on this product. The makers of Jetcoat should sponsor it. Like most walls i have low spots, do i need to fill these in with dry wall mud to get the level or just let the product float or even mold into them.
@bigpermsgarage6290 Жыл бұрын
It really depends on how low they are. You have the thickness of adhesive tape and a good bead or construction adhesive you might be ok. I tried to get mine as flat, square and plumb as possible. If you are asking the question then you should fill it. If it fails later you will wish you took the extra time to do it.
