Here is how you select the right shower base size to t the job in most cases:
Determine the distance between the center of the 2 inch pipe in the suboor to all framed walls and where you plan to have
the inside of a wedi curb (as if it were another framed wall). Next, take note of the longest dimension of the two distances
measured along each axis (east/west and north/south.)
You will need to select a shower base that covers twice the length of the longest dimensions along each axis. This will ensure
that the shower base will cover the entire shower area and, if needed, can be trimmed on site to position the integrated wedi
drain over the 2-inch wastepipe in the suboor.
This method of calculating the correct shower base works for square and rectangular spaces with a mostly centered drain
location. Where drains are very close to a wall, one of our off-center drain bases should be used if possible. Refer to our
Technical Drawings section to select the correct base that covers your shower dimensions, and will properly align the
integrated wedi drain with the oor drain pipe.
See an example here where we picked a 36 x 48 inch Fundo Primo shower base to t best into a shower space with an offset
drain, measured at 16 inches from the east/west wall and 18 inches from the north/south wall:

When modifying shower bases, always remember to recreate the prefabricated perimeter channel.
