Place ramp onto a level floor and
against tray, ensure ramp is flush
with tray edge and in
appropriate position. Mark off
fixing holes, drill and insert
suitable fixings in the floor.
Apply silicone sealant to contact
area of ramp before fixing with
No.8 x 38mm (11/2”) pan head self
tapping screws. Snap in
plastic sections to close fixing
cavity and place end caps to ramp
using adhesive. Note: For ramps
that continue around corner of
tray, a 45º joining piece is
supplied. These ramps may
require cutting to size. Ensure
that silicone is applied between
joining piece and tray and joining
piece and ramp.

Installation
IMPORTANT
Before completing the installation, water test the flow from tray into waste for correct installation and drainage efficiency.
It is important to ensure that the floor is level in all directions before putting the tray into place. If water puddles away from
the waste, this is a clear indication that the levels are not correct - the water is acting as a ‘spirit level’.
The sides on the tray A and Bmay well show level on testing, but if point Cis low, then water will puddle in the area of point C
and the only remedy is to level the floor and refit the tray. The tray has ‘lands’ on all four sides.
Use a spirit level front to back and side to side - all ‘lands’ must be level (ABC) - the fall is moulded into the tray (See Fig. A).
It is not necessary to remove plaster from the walls for installing the above trays. When tiling, ensure that the bottom row of
tiles are bedded in to align with the final position of the tray.

The Braddan Shower Tray should be cleaned periodically to remove any accumulation of hair or other waste material, using
normal domestic bathroom cleaning materials. Do not use strong or concentrated acidic, alkaline or other cleaning materials as
these may damage or discolour the product. After cleaning always flush down with water then wipe thoroughly with a damp
cloth to remove any cleaning material residues before drying off.

300mm MAX Cut down length
See Instructions 07-003-020 for more information on Cut-to-length.
The Braddan 1800 tray has a cut to length area that can be cut to suit the dimension between walls down to 1500mm.
Use a fine toothed blade in either jigsaw or handsaw (cut from below with jigsaw or from above with handsaw).
Allow for thickness of trim angle ‘B’ (2mm or 1/8”) when cutting tray to size (See Fig. 10).
After trimming tray and angles A & B to size, mastic underside of tray in position of angle ‘B’ placement. Fit angle ‘B’ to
underside of tray with stainless steel screws. Place tray onto a prepared level floor and between walls, ensuring that angle
‘B’ is tight against end wall. Place angle ‘A’ onto tray and against angle ‘B’ then drill 4.5mm (3/16”) diameter holes on ‘v’ groove
location through both angles (drill countersunk holes in angle ‘A’). Remove angle ‘A’ then drill through previously drilled holes in
angle ‘B’ with a No.10 / 5mm masonry drill into wall and fit plastic wall plugs. Silicone seal undersides of angle
‘A’ then fix to wall with No. 8x38mm (11/2”) countersunk head stainless steel screws. Silicone seal between angle ‘A’ and tray if
required. If required the trimmed tray edge is now ready for end moulding. (See cut-to-length instructions 07-003-020).

Step 1 - Tiling UpstandStep 1- Tilling Upstand
N.B.Tiling upstands are supplied cut-to-size. Installers to drill holes for tray fixings.
Tiling upstand (fixing flange to tray) may have to be cut out to accommodate waste pipe exit in tray before fixing to tray.
Place tiling upstand against tray wall edges, ensure that upstand has angled ribbed face against tray wall and is flush with top
of tray edge and is correctly positioned at corner before marking off fixing holes.
Drill 3.5mm (1/8”) diameter holes in tray, apply silicone sealant to tiling upstand before affixing to tray with No. 8 x 20mm (3/4”)
pan head self tapping screws.
Fit other tiling upstand in the same way, ensuring that it butts up to and is level with previously installed upstand at corner.
Cavities caused by radius on tray edge and corner must be silicone sealed (See Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).

Option 3- Installing Tray To Wooden Floor
Place tray onto floor with tiling upstands tight against plaster finish on back walls. Mark around tray front edges onto floor then
cut along marked line and remove floor boarding. Install 75 x 50mm (3” x 2”) wood noggins to joists around floor recess edges as
shown. Note: These noggins must be installed level for tray to sit level when placed into floor recess. This will ensure that fall in
tray will efficiently drain to waste.
Fig. 8
Install the waste into the tray and connect the exit pipes to the waste. Place tray into
floor recess ensuring that the tray edges are tight up to edges of previously cut
floorboard. Drill for suitable plugs in wall for tiling upstand fixings then fix with CSK
head stainless steel screws (not supplied). Re-check tray is level and test for water
drainage efficiency of tray. Apply mastic to tiling upstand while tiling bottom row of tiles.
(See Fig. 8). Vinyl floor covering should finish flush to and be level with ramp edge as
shown. If the waste pipes have to pass through the wooden floor joists, these should be
drilled and not notched. Preferably drilled close to the centre of the joist. (See Fig. 9)

Option 2- Installing Tray On Top Of Floor
Place waste outlet to tray and exit pipes to waste outlet.
Place tray on top of floor with tiling upstands tight against plaster finish on back walls, ensure tray is level
in all directions.
Fig. 7
When tiling upstands are tight against back walls, drill for suitable plugs in wall, then fix with CSK head stainless steel screws
(not supplied). Re-check tray is level and water test before tiling. Apply mastic to tiling upstand, while fitting bottom row
of tiles as shown. When using a 40mm (11/2”) ramp, install vinyl tiles up to and level with ramp edge. If not using a 40mm
(11/2”) ramp, install vinyl or tiles up to tray edge.

Place tray onto screed with tiling upstands tight against plaster finish on back walls.
Mark around tray front edges onto screed, then cut along marked line using a suitable
cutting disc to remove screed. Ensure that prepared recess is level in all directions.
Fit waste outlet to tray and exit pipes to waste outlet. A gravity type waste is preferred
but a pumped waste can be installed using a standard pumped waste unit or a special
uplift waste. The waste pipe is concealed in the tray and can exit through the tray edge
at the required position. (See Fig. 5)
Note. The uplift pump waste option needs to be ordered as a factory fitted item with tray.
(See Fig. 6)
However, the standard tray can accommodate a pump waste manifold under the tray using
a Shower Waste Pump.
Once the uplift waste adaptor direction has been set and outlet pipe work fitted, check
locking collars are in place.
Mask edges of tray with masking tape to avoid scratching and place tray into floor
recess, ensure that tiling upstands are tight against plaster on back walls.
Important: Tray front edges should finish above the level of screed to
accommodate thickness of floor tiles being used ie. vinyl, tiles, etc.
