After 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 (Fig. 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.
FOR ADA COMPLIANCE:
FLOOR MUST NOT BE LOWER THAN THE CORNER AS SHOWN IN FIGURE F.
Tape over the strainer to protect the finish and prevent
construction debris from entering the drain.
