Ensure that the oor and stud walls are square and plumb on a
level oor as shown in Figure A. Provide a 6" x 6" (152 x152 mm)
opening in the oor for the drain and refer to the product chart for
actual drain location.The lower portion of the drain mount must t
into the 6"x 6"opening. Check by dry fitting the shower base in the
final location. Draw a line 3-1/2" (89 mm) above the level
suboor on the wall studs at each side of the opening.
NOTE: Shower pans are to be installed on sub-oors not nished
oors. Shower pans will drain properly provided they are
installed on a level surface. Check the oor with a long level.
A long level is more likely to detect level of sub-oor at it's
greatest dimensions. Check front-to-back at the left and
right sides and at the center. Repeat for side-to-side dimen-
sions. Finally check the diagonals. Depending on the results,
some additional prep work may be necessary.
Shower bases require purchasing a round shower strainer type drain for
use with a standard 2" (51mm) plastic schedule 40 waste pipe. Figure B
shows the typical drain assembly. Before installing drain into the shower
base, remove strainer Figure B. This will be installed after shower base
is in its nal position. Cut the wastepipe height so that the drain body
will t snug in the shower base. Apply silicone sealant between the drain
body and shower base and follow all of the drain manufacturer’s
recommended installation details.
Mix a non-shrinking bedding material such as mortar and apply enough bedding
material to support the entire bottom of the shower base.
Concrete is NOT recommended. The shower base is NOT to be supported by
the base flange.
NOTE: Do not nail, screw or drill through the ange.
