Note! With some types of waste unit, it may be
necessary to form a keyhole shaped cut-out in
the ply using a jigsaw. This will make access
to the waste unit easier.
Note! Some shower trays have a protective
film (indicated by a label on the surface) which
MUST now be removed. Undertake a final
inspection of the shower tray at this stage. DO
NOT PROCEED IF NOT SATISFIED.
Place the shower tray in position on the floor
(ensuring surface is level) and mark the
perimeter and waste hole on the floor includ-
ing an area outside the perimeter for access
to connect plumbing (as dictated by the
installation location) after the shower tray
has been installed.
If using a shower tray with a built-in tiling
upstand, allowance must be made for
recessing the tray into adjacent walls to
allow tiling down onto the tray surface.
Form a trench in the floor to hold the waste unit
and piping.
Before proceeding, dry fit all items in-situ to
ensure compatibility.
Install the waste unit and piping in the trench in
accordance with building regulations, protecting
any exposed threads with masking tape.
If necessary, blank off the trench using 18mm
ply with a waste outlet hole, ensuring that the
plumbing connections can be made once the
shower tray is in position.

beneath the shower tray with cement to give full
support to the shower tray when in service.
If fitting a shower enclosure refer to the manufac-
turers installation instructions.
Place the shower tray onto the wet cement
ensuring that it is fully supported. Check the
level of the top rims only as the shower tray has
built-in fall for adequate drainage.
