I apologize if this has been asked previously – I’m sure it has. I’m remodeling a bath and am in the process of installing a 1700 series Delta shower faucet. The instructions that come with it are not very detailed, to be polite. I am installing through 1/2 inch sheetrock and 1/4 inch Swantone shower wall enclosure. The directions state that if I install on a wall less than 1 inch thick I rotate the plasterguard 180 degrees. This implies that I leave the plaster guard on the valve assembly and cut a rather large hole in my wall? So I really do this, or is the plastic plaster guard only a reference as to where the shower surface should align flush to? Thanks

that plate will but to the back of the wall so the valve dont pull too far forward when you tighten the escussion.
