An amount of deviation can be expected on this type of product especially on the larger trays.
Shower Tray installation onto a timber oor.
It is recommended that all flat top shower trays are installed before ling toensure that the top
radius of the tray is behind or at least below the le face. This will help tocreate a water ght seal.
(see diagram overleaf)
Having selected where the tray is tobe fied, check tomake sure the area is reasonably level. (Fig 1)
Carefully lower the tray intothe chosen posion, and mark the floorfor the waste opening. (Fig 2)
Remove the tray.
Check below the floor level toensure that there is adequate access for the waste and pipe work.
If an obstrucon is found, drill a hole and make provision in the floor of a sufficient diameter to
allow the enre waste coupling tofall below the floor level.
Make sure the floorboards are securely fixed. If this is not possible, use 18/20mm thick green grade
chipboard, cut tothe size of the tray and fix in place.
Caution!! Before attempting to secure any loose oorboards or the chipboard to the oorboards,
check that there are no pipes or electrical connections beneath the oor level.
Seal the installaon area with a suitable clear waterproofing agent.
Fit the waste and trap tothe tray following the manufacturers instrucon.
It is recommended that you use a suitable silicone sealant around the waste tocreate a waterght seal.
Ensure that the enre base of the tray is fully supported as the base of the tray may not be enrely level.
This is duetothe manufacturing process
So that the tray is bedded completely level the tray area has tobe FULLY COVERED with a 8mm minimum
thickness of weak cement mix (Fig 3)
The minimum thickness of mortar at the lowest point should be 5mm aer the tray has been levelled.
Check that the top of the tray is level. (Fig 4)
(Note the base of the tray has a built-in fall toallow fordrainage).
How To Mix Up A Standard Mortar
Mix 1 part ordinary cement to5 parts so sand. Mix the twotogether on a smooth hard surface.
Measure the sand and then add the cement on top. Turn them together unl they make a uniform
colour. Make a crater and add water gradually. Turn the mix intothe water toa flexible consistency.
It must not be runny!
In the case of a flat top shower tray, it is advised that all the tray towall joints are now sealed with a
bead of silicone sealant, once this has been done the walls can be led. Ensure that you apply an addional
bead of silicone sealant between the tray and the les, prior tofing the wall channels. (Fig 5)
Installation Onto A Solid Or Restricted Access Floor.
Where it is difficult torun a waste assembly under the floor, we recommend that you ulise our
Universal Leg Set & Panel Kit. This is designed and specified for such installaons to
support the tray & give access tothe waste behind removable panels.
Note! For all trays tted with 'easy plumb' leg kits, we recommend that you baton
the wall to add addtional support.
For trays 1400mm and above, additional support must be given by a cut 11mm (Min)
thick board (Not Supplied) to suit the size of tray and allow enough space for the plinth
clips to be tted. Fix panel to the underside using a compound adhesive or similar.

UNIVERSAL LEG SET & PANEL KIT
Thank you for purchasing our tray. Please fully read these installa on procedures and
familiarise yourself with the components before commencement.
Please inspect the product immediately and fully upon receipt and prior to installa on for transit
damage, or any defects. Damage or defects reported later cannot be accepted.
Your tray comes with a protec ve film. Peel back to inspect then replace.
Do not discard the packaging as some lised through out the installa on procedures.
Assembly of the Universal Leg Set & Panel Kit
For the best results & ease of installation determine the waste position of the tray.
Place the tray in the desired position or best location to simplify the installation.
The tray can be rotated indexing the waste to the most suitable position.
Fit the waste assembly & exit pipe work (following the waste manufacturers instruction & advice)
Place the tray face down on a protec ve surface or packaging.
See over the page and check your size & type of product.
Align the legs and panel clips to the diagram overleaf which suits your product.
Note! All trays 1400mm and above require x2 'easy plumb' leg kits.
Your tray is supported by a new reinforcement material with the ability to screw into.
Secure each leg with x3 (13mm) 1/2" x No8 round headed screws provided.
Under no circustances use a longer screw fo ng into the base.
Adjust the leg so that the overall assembly is a 100mm to suit the panel loca on and lightly ghten
the hexagonal nut.
Depending on which leg clip has been supplied, screw the panel clips to the underside of the tray
as illustrated overleaf. It is important that the correct screw size is used for this operation.
We recommend that the metal clip is fi ed so that it overhangs the tray 4mm.
The plas c clip should be fi ed to suit the panel return depth as this may vary.
When moving your tray into position, do not slide as this can loosen the leg ngs.
In most cases, your plas panel(s) is supplied over length.
Place onto the clips following the contour of the product if applicable.
Mark the panel to length at each end & cut accurately to length with a fine toothed saw.
Remove the panel.
Turn over the tray & adjust the adjustable feet to level the tray. Fit the panel which is 100mm in
height into its desired loca on.
Check with a spirit level that the tray is correctly levelled and fully ghten the hexagonal nuts on
the legs.
Scribe a line on the floor where the panel will sit.
Fit to the floor behind the scribed line taking account of the panel return lip. Fit several small blocks
of wood (not supplied) to ensure the panel remains stable.
It is recommended that the legs at the front of the tray are screwed to the floor.
Special care should be taken when using power tools & when drilling take care to avoid hidden
pipes or electrical cables.
Make all waste connec ons & er ing seal the tray along the contact edges.
Check for water ghtness and finally fit the panel(s)
