Add a continuous
bead of adhesive caulk on the back of mounting flange and secure
it to the wall cavity with supplied wall fasteners. (Galvanized
roofing nails may be substituted.) A power screwdriver may be
used if a low resistance setting is available, otherwise...tighten
all fasteners by hand and do not over tighten!
Thickness of Recess-It™
mounting flange should be minimized to provide a flush wall surface
for the finish tile.
In some substrates, you may be able to
grind the perimeter of the cut-out for the width and depth of the
mounting flange prior to unit installation. Otherwise, install unit,
and then by using a bonding material (thinset/mastic), "feather"
the edge of the unit for a distance of 8"-12" and allow to set firm
prior to continuing with finish tile placement.
