How to Guide
Q How do I install the outside corners (dam corners)?
A The outside corners are PVC material, and you will cement them to PVC and CPE liners with X-15 cement only.
Q What is an approved caulk to use between the liner and shower drain ange?
A Oatey 100% silicone caulk. If Oatey product is not available at your retailer, any brand of 100% silicone caulk.
Q Can I use pipe solvent cement to solvent weld shower pan liner together?
A No. The formulas are very different and cannot be interchanged.
Q Can you place roong paper (tar paper) under the shower pan liner instead of concrete?
A You cannot use any tar paper when installing the shower pan liner because the petroleum in the tar
paper will dry the liner, and the liner will become brittle and crack if there is prolonged exposure.
Q Instructions for installation (step-by-step)?
A If you contact our customer service department, they would be happy to send you a full set of step-
by-step installation instructions. You can also visit our website and watch our how-to video showing a
shower pan installation.
Q How can you get the creases out of the prepackaged shower pan liner before installation?
A Whenever possible, you should purchase a piece of shower liner from a roll which all the Home and
Garden stores stock. However, if you do get a piece that has a crease in it, lay it on a at surface in
the sun or heat with a hair dryer. Then lay a at heavy object on top of the crease for 30 minutes. This
step may have to be repeated a few times in order to create new material memory. If the creases are
too large, DO NOT install the liner. Large creases left in the liner will cause water to puddle under the
concrete which could affect the integrity of the cement base, or mold growth which will transfer up
through the grout joints. The pan liner must be self-draining.
