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. 90° 90° 90° See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for details.
2. Install the shower drain (NOT INCLUDED) according to the drain installation manual (supplied with the drain). See Fig. 3 for example Fig. 3 3. 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. See Fig. 4 for details. Lower the base over the drain pipe and set it into place against the studs. Fig.
4. Level the tray and place marks on the studs above the upper edge of the tile flange. See Fig. 5 for details. Level base in two directions Fig. 5 5. 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. See Fig. 6 for details. Mortar Fig.
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.
