Q What solvent cement do I use for seaming PVC liner?

A Oatey X-15 Shower Pan Liner Adhesive.

Q What solvent cement do I use for seaming CPE liner?

A Oateyweld.

Q How thick should I pour concrete below shower pan liner?

A This depends on the quality of the cement products you are using and the minimal thickness

recommended by that specic manufacturer. The normal rule is 1/4" thick starting at the outside of the

ange, then the concrete is sloped up and away from the drain at 1/4" per foot.

Q How thick should I pour concrete on top of liner?

A The recommended thickness for this pour is between 2" to 3". This is the minimal thickness starting

at the drain, then sloping up and away from the drain at 1/4" per foot. This is not always possible due

to curb heights. If this is true, pour as thick as possible and consider a higher quality cement which will

allow for a thinner pour while maintaining strength.

Q Can I install tile on top of liner without concrete?

A No. Thinset or tile glue (adhesive) should never be applied directly to the shower pan liner.
