©2018 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved Shower Base Installation - Preparation 1. Ensure that the floor and the studs are at right angles. Provide a 5”×5” opening in the subfloor for the drain. The 2” PVC waste pipe should extend above the surface of the sub-floor according to the drain installation instructions and the height of the Shower base. Refer to the product drawings and tables in this installation manual for the drain location.

Place the tray into the designated position so that the Drain cutout drops around the Drain Pipe and butt the Shower Base up against the studs. (Fig 3) Lower the base over the drain pipe and set it into place against the studs.

Mix the bedding material (Mortar, cement-sand mix, etc.) Concrete or plaster is not recommended. Apply enough bedding material to support the entire bottom of the shower base. This will add additional stability and prevent the base from shifting position.
©2018 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved 6. After the bedding material has been poured and before it sets, place the shower base into the position with the drain assembly sliding over the PVC waste pipe. It will be necessary to push the shower base until the top of the tile flange aligns with the marks drawn on the studs and the front edge is contacting the rough floor along the entire length of the shower base. Ensure that the base is level in all directions.

7b. Check the door for level. Adjust the Hinge Profile (#02) as necessary. From inside of the shower, drill an Ø1/8” hole through the predrilled hole at the top of the hinge-side Wall Profile (#01) and secure the Wall Profile (#01) to the hinge profile using an ST4.2 x 10mm Pan Head Screw (#13) and Washer (#14). This will provide some support for the door until the remaining ST4.2 x 10mm (#13) screws are installed in Step #12, after the Strike side profiles are installed.

After making final adjustments to the Door Glass (#06), drill holes into the Hinge Profile (#02) and Strike Profile (#09) through the pre-drilled holes in the Wall Profiles (#01 and #10) using an Ø1/8” (3.2mm) drill bit. NOTE: Drill through one layer of the profile, not through the entire profile.
13. Install the Handle (#11) onto the Door Glass (#06) using the ST4.2x10 Pan Head Screws (#13) and one gasket per side to prevent glass to metal contact.
