INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1. PREPARING ALCOVE
+Strip alcove to bare studs.
+Shower stud pocket should be constructed as shown above. Studs should
be plumb and square to sub-oor.
+Floor must be clean, smooth, and level (check with level). Sub oor must
be installed in the stud layout. Do not install shower base on open oor
joists.
+Cut hole in sub oor as shown above to accommodate drain
(Not included).
STEP 2. TRIAL FIT BASE
+Trial t base in prepared alcove. With base sitting at on oor, check with
level on top of base. Base should be level from front-to-back and
side-to-side (Fig 1).
+ If base is not level install wood shims between base feet and sub-oor as
needed.
+ Remove base from alcove.
+OPTIONAL: If sub-oor is not level, a oor leveling compound (smooth
mortar) or a similar quick-setting compound specically made for
leveling oors is an excellent way to fully support and level base instead of
wood shims.
STEP 3. INSTALLING BASE
+ Apply construction adhesive to all feet and install base into alcove (Fig. 2).
+ Level base with shims into construction adhesive under feet (Fig 3).
+After base is leveled, if alcove is larger than base, shim between base and
studs to create a tight t. Screw base ange to all studs (Fig. 4).
IMPORTANT - Failure to screw ange to all studs will void warranty.
IMPORTANT
+ Allow base to reach room temperature before installation.
+ Before you begin, determine appropriate product reference (above).
+ Read installation instructions carefully before starting project.
+ Keep instructions for warranty information.
+ Do not use plumber's putty. May result in product failure. Use a high
grade silicone caulk or latex for all necessary locations.
Before installation, peel away protective lm to ensure correct color.
