1Ensure that the floor and stud walls are square and plumb on a level
floor as shown in Figure A. Provide a 6" x 6" (152 x 152mm) opening in
the floor for the drain and refer to the product chart for actual drain
location. The lower portion of the drain mount must fit into the 6"x 6"
(152 x 152mm) opening. Check by dry fitting the shower base in the
final location. Draw a line 3" (76mm) above the level subfloor on the
wall studs at each side of the opening.

NOTE: Shower pans are to be installed on sub-oors not nished oors. Shower
pans will drain properly provided they are installed on a level surface.
Check the floor with a long level. A long level is more likely to detect level of
sub-floor at its greatest dimensions. Check front-to-back at the left and right sides
and at the center. Repeat for side-to-side dimensions. Finally check the diagonals.
Depending on the results, some additional prep work may be necessary.

Shower bases require purchasing a round shower strainer type drain for
use with a standard 2" (51mm) plastic schedule 40 waste pipe. Figure B
shows the typical drain assembly. Before installing drain into the shower
base, remove strainer Figure B. This will be installed after shower base is
in its final position. Cut the wastepipe height so that the drain body
will t snug in the shower base. Apply silicone sealant between the drain
body and shower base and follow all of the drain manufacturer’s
recommended installation details.
Level base in two directions.
NOTES: Allow the bedding material to completely harden before
applying weight to the bottom of the shower base.
Place strainer back into place and conduct a water test
of drain and plumbing to ensure there are no leaks.
4After the bedding material has been poured and before it sets, lower
the shower base into position with the drain assembly sliding over the
waste pipe Figure C. It will be necessary to "rock" the shower base until
the top of the tile flange aligns with the lines drawn on the stud walls
from Step 1. Make sure the apron is contacting the rough floor along the
entire length of the shower base and ensure that the base is level in two
directions as shown in Figure D.
Tape over the shower base drain trench to protect the finish and
prevent construction debris from entering the drain and finish the
shower base installation as shown in Figure E. Any finish material
such as tile or wallboard must be self-supporting if it contacts the
deck of the shower base Figure E.
Install the water resistant drywall while keeping approximately
1/4" (6mm) to 1/2" (13mm) of clearance between the shower
base and drywall to prevent any possible water from wicking.
NOTE: Once the finish material is complete, place the Trench
cover in the trough.

Mix a non-shrinking bedding material such as mortar and apply enough bedding material to support
the entire bottom of the shower base.
Concrete is NOT recommended. The shower base is NOT to be supported by the base ange.
Note: Do not nail, screw or drill through the flange.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP
Remove all construction debris. Tile grout can be removed with a wooden popsicle stick or tongue depressor. Do not use wire brushes or any other
metal implement on surface.
Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed
using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.
Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.
AFTERCARE and CLEANING
• The product should be regularly cleaned with a damp cloth with a mild detergent cleaner.
WARNING: Hair dye, "colored" cosmetics (such as mascara, lipstick, face powder, etc.) can create slight discoloration
if not removed immediately from the surface of the product.
• The product should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
• The product is sensitive to the following chemicals: caustic soda (mainly present in drain openers), strong solvents such as acetone, methanol,
methylene chloride, potassium permanganate, as well as various agents containing dye.
• Water temperature should not exceed 120 degrees fahrenheit.
• Do not allow limescale to deposit on the surface. Such stain should be removed with widely available cleaning agents (containing no dye) designed
for that purpose.
• Stains can be removed by sanding with a very fine sand paper (400 grit).
• In the case of the product equipped with waste cover, pay extra attention to the care and maintenance of the space under the cover. It is
recommended to clean the bottom of the cover and the place where the surface of the product and the cover are in contact at least once a week.
