This accessible receptor has a different installation method (full bed of grout/mortar). Please visit our website,
www.hytec.ca, to find the specific instructions.
* Smaller Dimension is the value for the low threshold version.

PLANNING AND INSTALLATION
All shower receptors should be supported from the underside with mortar or grout. Ensure that drain plumbing does not
protrude too far above the building floor and that there are no objects such as large aggregate between the building floor and
the shower bottom which would result in upwards pressure against the floor. Any upwards pressure on the floor could
cause the floor to crown and water to pool, voiding the warranty.
WARNING: Make sure a watertight seal exists on all shower receptor drain connections (flange, gasket and thread).
1. Prepare the framing pocket to suit the appropriate receptor outside dimensions as shown in the table of dimensions.
2. When a fire-rated wall is specified, the finished fire-rated wallboards should be in place prior to installation of the
unit (NOTE: In this case, allowance must be made for the thickness of the wall board when constructing the framing
pocket.)
3. Locate correct position for drain and trap and cut out floor, leaving clearance for final positioning and hook up.
4. Measure from the bottom of the apron to the top of the flange at the front of the receptor.
5. Scribe a line at this height on the studs or drywall at both ends and along the back wall of the framing pocket. This
line should assist in levelling the receptor.
6. Attach drain fitting to receptor. As mentioned above, please ensure a watertight seal.
7. Slide receptor into position, check for level at both ends and along the back wall and adjust as necessary. Hytec
recommends the use of a digital or precision level.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For proper drainage, the maximum allowed tolerance for leveling is 1/8”over the length
and width of the unit.
8. In wood frame or steel stud construction, Hytec tubs and showers are all designed to rest on their front apron and
be supported by the nailing flanges along both sides and back. The flanges are attached by screws or nails to the
studs that form the framing pocket. It is a requirement that the shower receptors are supported from below
using grout or mortar mix. Please see the “Application of Grout or Mortar”section for additional
information.
9. Once satisfied with location, mark and drill clearance holes in the nailing flange for mounting screws, lining up with
the centre of all wall studs. NOTE: failure to drill clearance holes may result in stress cracks in the acrylic finish.
10. Attach the unit with screws at each stud, making sure that the screws are long enough to penetrate the studs if
installing over previously installed drywall or fire-rated wall coverings.
Application of Grout or Mortar.
- Measure the distance between one of the corners of the shower well and the center (“X”in the drawings below).
Mark the middle point of this distance (“X/2”in the drawings); this will be the location of the grout/mortar mix.
- Repeat and mark the spot for the other 3 corners of the shower well.
- Mix the material with water in 4 Ziploc sandwich bags. Make sure that you have enough grout to support the
receptor on each spot (close the gap between the floor and the unit). Please see the instructions provided by the
supplier to find the recommended mix ratios.
- Place the 4 Ziploc bags with mortar mix (you can keep it inside the bags), and re-check the level at both ends and
along the back wall.
- Let the mortar/grout cure.

DRYWALLING
After the Receptor is in place and secured, proceed with the installation of drywall (green in the figures below). If tile or
another finishing surface is being used, butt the bottom of the drywall up to the top of the sealing flange. The tile can then
project over the edge of the drywall, down to the deck on single flange models, or down to the horizontal ledge on double
flange models (See Figures 1 and 2). It is important to leave a 1/8”gap between the tile (or alternative finishing surface), and
the receptor. This gap should then be closed with a silicone sealant only (do not use grout for this purpose).

CARE & MAINTENANCE
We trust you will have many years of satisfying use from our
product. The following hints are offered to assist you in
keeping your tub and shower in “as new” condition.
Normal Care:
A quick sponge-down with warm water and a liquid detergent,
such as Mr. Clean or Fantastic, will take care of most
cleaning needs. In areas where the water is hard, more
frequent cleaning will be necessary to prevent any build up
on the surface.
We recommend the use of a good quality car or boat wax to
protect the gloss and make cleaning easier.
Stains:
For stubborn stains, start with a liquid detergent; if this does
not work, try a mild powder detergent such as Spic and Span,
which also works well for removing heavy soap film.
Cleaning pads made of nylon; saran or polyethylene and
containing no abrasives may be used.
Do not use abrasive scouring powders or metal scouring
pads, as these will permanently damage the finish.
A mild abrasive action can be accomplished with an
automobile type of rubbing compound –there are several
types available, both coarse and fine. The fine ones take a
little longer to remove a stain, but they do not dull the surface
as much. Should your stain removal result in a dull area, the
shine can be restored with an automobile cleaner wax, such
as Turtle Wax.
Paint Splashes:
A quick wipe with mineral spirits, turpentine or Polyclens,
followed immediately by a wash with water will remove most
paint splashes. Do not use paint remover or stripper, as
these contain solvents that can permanently damage the
acrylic surface.
Things to Avoid:
Sand and grit. Dropped tools. Acetone on any acrylic
surface.
Should your unit suffer accidental damage, it can probably be
repaired by a qualified and trained repair person. Consult
your plumber, wholesaler or a Hytec Sales Agent to arrange
for this to be done.
