THE BEST BATH OR SHOWER EXPERIENCE?
THE ONE NOBODY INTERRUPTS.
Thank you for buying an American Standard
bath or shower product.
We’re so grateful you did, and you will be too. Not just while you’re waking

or muddy dog gets cleaned up. How do we know? Just like you, we’ve lived
with that same beautiful chaos called life for almost 150 years. We believe
that while every home should appreciate in value, we never forget the
sentimental value that grows from enjoying life in the heart of home—
your kitchen and bath. That’s why we love your stories and ideas; they help
us innovate with products that make your life easier.

INSTALLATION AND FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF DRAIN ASSEMBLY
1a. Ensure that the floor and stud walls are square and plumb on a level floor as shown in Figure A.
Provide a 7" x 7" (178 x 178 mm) opening in the floor for the drain and refer to the product rough-in
on the specification page for actual drain location.
2a. All of the shower bases require purchasing a round drain for use with a standard 2” (51 mm) plastic
schedule 40 waste pipe. Figure B shows the typical drain assembly. Before installing drain into the
shower base, remove strainer. (Ref. Figure B) This will be installed after shower base is in its final position.
Cut the waste pipe height so that the drain body will fit snug in the shower base. Apply silicone sealant
between the drain body and shower base.
NOTE: Drain not included and must be purchased separately.
The alcove opening dimensions should be at least 1/8"(3mm) larger than dimensions shown on
spec page for the model being installed.
For the best t, the opening measurements should be veried against the actual
shower base received.
