Installation Guide

After the bedding material has been poured and beforeit sets, place the shower

base into the position with the drain assembly sliding over the PVC waste pipe. It

will be necessary to push the shower base until the top of the tile flange aligns with

the marks drawn on the studs and the front edge is contacting the rough floor

along the entire length of the shower base. Ensure tha

t the base is level in all

directions. You may need to use shims to hold the tray in the level until the bedding

settles and supports the tray. Remove all excessmortar.

See Fig. 7 for details.

Allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the

bottom of the shower base.Install the cement board (or the wallboard) above the

tile flanges and secure it

to the studs.Put the tiles (or other finishing wall material)

over the cement board leaving 1/8" gap between the bottom of the tile and the

splash rim of the shower base.Use caulk to fill that gap.

See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 for details.
