Installation Instructions
without removing it from the stud pocket. Do not
secure the pan to the studs at this point because you
may need to reach around the pan as you install the
drain tting detailed in the next step. Make sure pan is
angled enough so it will not fall.
13. Install the drain tting on the shower pan. Apply
a bead of 100% silicone caulking around the recessed
molded drain area on the nished side of the pan.
Remove the nut and all gaskets from the drain body.
Slip the threaded shank of the drain body through the
hole. Follow the instructions provided with the drain
tting to install the gaskets in the proper location. When
all gaskets and locknut are in place on the bottom side
of the shower, tighten the nut to secure the shower
drain assembly. From the top side of the drain assembly,
remove the rubber caulking gasket located on the
inside of the drain tting. This will allow the drain pipe
to slip through the drain tting on the shower.
A diagram of a typical drain assembly is shown in this
manual.
Wipe away any excess caulking that may have squeezed
out on the inside of the pan.
Now secure the pan in the upright position to the
back framing. Use a piece of scrap 2 x 4 lumber to
temporarily secure it. See the example in Figure 12.
14. A solid wood oor adhesive will be used to “glue”
the bottom side of the shower pan to the sub oor. The
following steps will detail the appropriate steps to
accomplish this.
15. Clean the sub-oor thoroughly, wiping away all lose
debris. Wipe up any moisture. Never use adhesive on a
dirty or damp surface.
16. To secure the shower pan to the oor a solid wood
oor adhesive must be applied to the entire sub oor
area where the shower pan will rest.
Using a 1/2” notched trowel, apply adhesive evenly
over the pan contact area. Bring the adhesive up to the
threshold pencil mark and also make sure the adhesive
will be in contact with the back side of the pan. The
long edge of the trowel may be needed to get the
adhesive to the far back of the contact area where the
Non shrink thin-set mortar can be purchased at Lowes or
The Home Depot. Please follow the mixing directions on the
bag.
In this step, apply the adhesive to the flat floor area and fill
the boxed area around the drain pipe with the Thin-Set
mortar.
After the adhesive is troweled over the sub floor, use a
spatula to wipe the adhesive over the entire area where the
pan will sit.
The exception will be the drain box area. This area will be
filled with thin-set non shrink mortar. Do not fill this area
above the floor line and do not spill any of this thin-set
material onto the contact adhesive.
(See Figure 13B.)

A solid wood floor adhesive will be used to “glue” the
bottom side of the shower pan to the sub floor.
The following steps will detail the appropriate steps to
accomplish this.
NOTE: Models 4836 SH and 6030 SH are not glued as described
above. The models must have the bottom supported by shims
placed under the leveling legs at the underside of the pan.
This step is described on Page 5 Step 8.

Clean the sub-floor thoroughly, wiping away all lose debris.
Wipe up any moisture. Never use adhesive on a dirty or
If installing these models, the following instructions refering to
