©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. 90° 90° 90° See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for details.
©2018 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved 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.
©2018 DreamLine. All Rights Reserved 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.
©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.

Preparation for Installation of Back Panel 1. Place a mark on the walls at a distance of 1” (one inch) from the corner and draw a plumb vertical line from top to bottom. 1 1" See Fig. 1 for details. NOTE: Repeat this step for both corners. 2 1" Fig. 1 2. The Shower back wall kit has two Back Panels (09). Measure the back wall of the shower between the vertical lines you marked in Step 1. This distance is marked as “W”. W See Fig. 2 for details. Fig. 2 Q-Wall 5.2 (w/two back panels) manual Ver.
3. Divide the measurement “W” by two and place a mark in the center of the back wall and from there draw a plumb vertical line from top to bottom. W/ 2 W/ 2 This distance is shown as “W/2”. See Fig. 3 for details. Fig. 3 4. Determine the position of both Back panels (09).
5. Measure the Back Panel (09). Width of the Back Panel has to be less than or equal to the distance between the center line and the corner line on the back wall in Step. 3 L ≤ W/2 L L If the width of the Back Panel is greater than the distance between the center line and the corner line on the back wall in Step. 3, you have to trim the Back Panel to fit your measurement. See Fig. 5 for details. Fig. 5 6.
7. Place the Back Panel (09) onto a flat piece of plywood or particle board. Use a sharp industrial knife and a T-square to score along the marked side ends of the Back panel and continue scoring until you have fully cut through the panel.
