2 x 4 STUDS ALIGNMENT & POSITIONING
TIME REQUIRED
½ to 1 HR
Using the pan and 1B and 2B wall panels, you will be able to check to make sure your 2 x 4 studs are in the needed position and supported adequately.
You will see in (diagram 2) extra 2 x 4 studs are added to the door and glass side thresholds for extra strength. You may need to make adjustments for your
faucet or optional shampoo shelf. When you place the bottom sections of the wall 1B or 2B into the shower pan, you can also calculate the needed width and
height of areas to keep free of 2 x 4 studs. (See installation instructions included with the faucet or shampoo shelf)

WATER TEST PAN
TIME REQUIRED
½ to 1 HR

To ensure that no damage has occurred to your shower during shipping, it is important to check your pan for damage prior to installation in your home. Damage
caused by shipping may result in a hairline fracture that could leak over time.
Move your shower pan to a location that will not be damaged by water run-off. A driveway or patio is suitable for testing your new shower pan.
Set the pan on blocks high enough to see the underside of the pan. Plug the drain and fill the shower pan with water, let stand for 30 min. plus.
Check for leaks and proper slope (angle) of the top pan surface. If there is no damage and no leaks, the shower pan is ready to be installed.
Be careful when moving the shower pan, harsh bumping or dropping the shower pan can cause hairline fractures that may leak over time.
1. Remove the shower pan to a safe location to water test.
2. Apply a generous bead of silicone around the shower pan drain hole and around the outside of
the drain collar #5, insert the drain collar #5 into the drain hole.
3. Apply a generous bead of silicone around the drain collar #5 from the underside of the pan.
4. Install the rubber gasket #6 over the drain collar #5, to the underside of the pan, next install the
teflon slide ring #7.
5. Screw on the drain lock nut #8 and hand tighten. Turn drain lock nut #8 approximately 1/4
turn with the wrench to ensure a water-tight fit. Check for a good seal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
6. Wipe off excess silicone and allow silicone to dry. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for
application and drying time.
