pan is resting against the framing studs in a vertical position.
(Pan not shown in Figures 13 A and B).
After the adhesive is troweled over the sub oor, 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 lled with thin-set non shrink mortar. Do
not ll this area above the oor line and do not spill any of
this thin-set material onto the contact adhesive. See Figure
13B
Non shrink thin-set mortar can be purchased at any
local home improvement store. Please follow the mixing
directions on the bag.
In this step, apply the adhesive to the at oor area and ll
the boxed area around the drain pipe with the Thin-Set
mortar.
17. After the adhesive and thin-set materials are in place,
rotate the pan back into place for installation.
(Hint) In order to reach the pan without stepping on the
adhesive, place a short piece of wood over the drain area. Use
this to step on to remove the 2 x 4 that is holding the pan
against the back framing. See Figure 15
NOTE: The working life of the ooring adhesive is roughly
one hour. (Refer to the label on the adhesive for actual
working time). After step 16 is complete, the entire
installation process though step 23 must continue. If for
any reason the installation cannot be completed within the
working time of the adhesive, after step 16, jump ahead to
step 23.
Rotate the pan back to the horizontal position. As you
lower the pan to the sub oor, align the drain pipe with the
drain tting, and with the pencil mark at the front of the
threshold.
When the pan is seated into the adhesive, place the
cardboard on the shower oor for protection. Thoroughly
walk around in the shower. This will assist in seating the pan
into the adhesive.
Attach the pan to the studs by installing the at top/pan
head screws through the holes drilled into the ange.
Snug the screws up tight so the screw heads will be clear
of the side wall panels for assembly. Use care not to

Before installing the walls, confirm the ledges
where the walls sit are level. Check with a long
level as shown in Figure 16. If there is an out of level
condition, remove screws and adjust as required.
Before the adhesive cures, confirm the floor slope to the
drain has been maintained. To do this, use a 2 foot level at
various points around the drain to the adjacent wall to check
for draft. Make sure there is a downward slope to the drain in
all directions around the drain. Visually inspect the floor to be
sure there are no humps or dips that could cause improper
drainage.
See Figure 17A and 17B.
Rotate the pan back to the horizontal position. As you lower the
pan to the sub floor, align the drain pipe with the drain fitting,
and with the pencil mark at the front of the threshold.
NOTE: The working life of the flooring adhesive is roughly
one hour. (Refer to the label on the adhesive for actual
working time). After step 16 is complete, the entire
installation process though step 23 must continue. If for
any reason the installation cannot be completed within the
working time of the adhesive, after step 16, jump ahead to
step 23.
When the pan is seated into the adhesive, place the cardboard
on the shower floor for protection. Thoroughly walk around in
the shower. This will assist in seating the pan into the adhesive.
Attach the pan to the studs by installing the flat top/pan
head screws through the holes drilled into the flange.
Snug the screws up tight so the screw heads will be clear
of the side wall panels for assembly. Use care not to
overtighten to the point that causes flange breakage.
