on the outside of the cut drain pipe and quickly insert into drain connection, and then be sure the drain pipe
extends far enough below the subfloor so it can be conveniently connected to the waste water pipe following
the installation.
b. If there is no access from the subfloor below and you followed step 5.b. above then brush PVC or ABS
adhesive on the drain pipe stubbed up from the subfloor, then quickly insert the stubbed up drain pipe
properly into the shower pan drain.
8. Place the pan in the mud base and firmly but gently shimmy the pan into the mud so that (i) the drain is fully
supported by mud at the bore hole in the substrate, and (ii) the ribs are completely filled with the mud by
alternately applying hand pressure to the right and left side of the pan floor until the pan ribs contact the
subfloor. Level all pan sides and the let the mortar dry overnight. Important: DO NOT STEP INTO THE SHOWER
PAN ONCE IT IS PLACED IN THE MORTAR BASE AND LEVELED UNTIL THE MORTAR HAS CURED COMPLETELY. See
BASE’N BENCH™ Installation Photo 3.
9. Once the shower pan mortar has cured completely, install the REDI FLASH® flashing above the shower base splash
wall where the REDI BENCH® is to be installed, screwing the REDI FLASH® flashing into the bench frame. Please see
BASE’N BENCH™ Installation Photo 4.
10. Now apply REDI POXY™ to all surfaces of the bench frame which are in contact with the REDI BENCH® when it is
placed in the frame (i.e., the top of the frame and the vertical frame studs above the splash wall.) Please see BASE’N
BENCH™ Installation Photo 5. Then, install the REDI BENCH® by securely placing the REDI BENCH® on the framing so
it is in contact with all the seat and leg support areas containing REDI POXY™. Please see BASE’N BENCH™
Installation Photo 6. Press the REDI BENCH® firmly onto the REDI POXY™ on the bench frame and hold it securely in
place for approximately 30 minutes as illustrated in BASE’N BENCH™ Installation Photos 7 & 8. Please note that the
REDI BENCH® leg support which is ½ inch thick will line up directly over the shower base splash wall which is also ½
inch thick, thereby allowing for a flush tile look from the shower base splash wall up the REDI BENCH® leg support.
11. Install the REDI FLASH® flashing on the top of the 3 splash walls of the REDI BENCH® in the same fashion that the
REDI FLASH® was installed between the shower base splash wall and the REDI BENCH® splash wall.
12. Install the shower backer board and water proofing in accordance with the standards established by the Tile
Council of North America, Inc.
13. Seal and waterproof joint between backer board and the shower pan splash walls with using 100% silicone and/or
the optional Redi Flash® system.
14. Adjust the height of the drain as necessary to accommodate the ceramic tile or marble
15. Mix the included approved Redi Poxy™ adhesive and trowel the epoxy onto the shower pan surface using a 1/8” x
1/8” square notch trowel.
16.
Tile the rest of the shower.
