any reason the installation cannot be completed within the
working time of the adhesive, after step 16, jump ahead to
step 23.
Rotate the pan back to the horizontal position. As you lower the
pan to the sub oor, align the drain pipe with the drain tting, and
with the pencil mark at the front of the threshold.
When the pan is seated into the adhesive, place the cardboard
on the shower oor for protection. Thoroughly walk around in
the shower. This will assist in seating the pan into the adhesive.
Attach the pan to the studs by installing the at top/pan
head screws through the holes drilled into the ange.
Snug the screws up tight so the screw heads will be clear
of the side wall panels for assembly. Use care not to
overtighten to the point that causes ange breakage.
18. Before installing the walls, conrm the ledges
where the walls sit are level. Check with a long
level as shown in Figure 16. If there is an out of level
condition, remove screws and adjust as required.
19. Before the adhesive cures, conrm the oor slope to the
drain has been maintained. To do this, use a 2 foot level at various
points around the drain to the adjacent wall to check for draft.
Make sure there is a downward slope to the drain in all directions
around the drain. Visually inspect the oor to be sure there are
no humps or dips that could cause improper drainage.
See Figure 17A and 17B.
20. The next step will be to place the wall panels on the pan. The
back wall will be installed rst. If the water control valve is in the
back wall, carefully measure and mark the location on the surface
of the wall panel. If installing in a shower with a two piece back
wall, the valve probably will be installed through the lower wall
panel. Make certain the valve does not conict with
the mounting ange or seam. Read the installation instructions
provided by the valve manufacturer. Before the Trial t, carefully
drill the valve hole (s) in the panel. When drilled,dry Trial t the
back wall panel (s) on the shower pan to test the t.
Conrm the gap where the wall seats to the pan is 1/8” or less.
Make sure the seam for the two piece wall is also 1/8” or less.
Adjust the valve hole size and location if required.
Lift the wall panel with the valve hole away. Complete the valve
installation and connection to hot and cold water supply at this
time. Also complete shower supply connection. Strap pipes to
17.
After the adhesive and thin-set materials are in place, rotate
the pan back into place for installation.
(Hint) In order to reach the pan without stepping on the adhesive,
place a short piece of wood over the drain area. Use this to step
on to remove the 2 x 4 that is holding the pan against the back
framing. (See Figure 15).

Before installing the walls, confirm the ledges
where the walls sit are level. Check with a long
level as shown in Figure 16. If there is an out of level
condition, remove screws and adjust as required.
Before the adhesive cures, confirm the floor slope to the
drain has been maintained. To do this, use a 2 foot level at
various points around the drain to the adjacent wall to check
for draft. Make sure there is a downward slope to the drain in
all directions around the drain. Visually inspect the floor to be
sure there are no humps or dips that could cause improper
drainage.
See Figure 17A and 17B.
Rotate the pan back to the horizontal position. As you lower the
pan to the sub floor, align the drain pipe with the drain fitting,
and with the pencil mark at the front of the threshold.
NOTE: The working life of the flooring adhesive is roughly
one hour. (Refer to the label on the adhesive for actual
working time). After step 16 is complete, the entire
installation process though step 23 must continue. If for
any reason the installation cannot be completed within the
working time of the adhesive, after step 16, jump ahead to
step 23.
When the pan is seated into the adhesive, place the cardboard
on the shower floor for protection. Thoroughly walk around in
the shower. This will assist in seating the pan into the adhesive.
Attach the pan to the studs by installing the flat top/pan
head screws through the holes drilled into the flange.
Snug the screws up tight so the screw heads will be clear
of the side wall panels for assembly. Use care not to
overtighten to the point that causes flange breakage.
