Shower Pan Installation

1. For typical wood subfloor cut a 4.5" diameter hole in the

center of the shower floor where the tile shower drain would

normally be positioned. Disassemble the tile shower drain.

Lay the tile shower drain base in the opening so the flange of

the drain base rests on top of the subfloor. Solvent weld the

drain base to the drain pipe using the appropriate solvent

cement. See Figure A.

2. Cover the drain base opening with duct tape to keep debris

from entering the drain. Begin by applying Portland Sand/

Cement mixture mortar bed over the subfloor at 1/4" per foot

slope from the wall framing to the top of, but not over, the

drain base. After this step the sloped mortar bed should be

flush with the top surface of the drain base.

Oatey provides several products needed

for tile shower installations. Choose from

the list below before you start your project:

PVC or CPE Pan Liner – referred to as

pan liner or membrane in our instructions.

Tile Shower Drain – PVC for PVC drain

pipe or ABS for ABS drain pipe. Each is

available with stainless steel, polished

brass or white plastic strainer.

X-15 or CPE (Oateyweld) bonding

adhesive – For use on dam corners or

seaming use X-15 for PVC and Oateyweld

for CPE.

PVC or ABS solvent cement – PVC solvent

cement and primer for PVC drainage

systems or ABS solvent cement for ABS

drainage systems. Use the appropriate

cement (and primer for PVC) to solvent

weld tile shower drain to the drain pipe.

Dam Corners – For outside corners and

over the curb preformed dam corners

are available, which can be used for PVC

or CPE pan liner applications.

Note: Oatey pan liner instructions assume

the shower framing has been constructed

and the flooring is plywood. Generally the

same principles apply to concrete flooring

where the sloped mortar bed is applied

beneath the pan liner. Also the instructions

apply to either PVC pan liner or CPE pan

liner which are installed the same with

the exception of the bonding adhesive used

for seaming and dam corner applications.

If you have questions regarding pan liner

installation that are not covered in these

instructions, contact Oatey customer

3. After the sloped mortar bed has cured, the pan liner dimensions need to be determined. Pan liner dimensions should be sufficient to completely cover the floor, turn up all sidewalls at least 2" above the finished curb height, and adequately cover the curb. Lay the pan liner on a Figure B clean floor surface, measure, and cut to the appropriate dimensions. Note: Seaming may be required in larger showers. See Figure B. Follow instructions on bonding adhesive. 4.
