II. HOW TO TILE THE SHOWER PAN FLOOR 
EDGES AROUND THE TRENCH RECESS: (See 
Fig. 2) 
1.  Insert the Solid Drain Grate into the Trench 
Recess. 
2.  Dry fit the tiles to the shower pan floor. 
3.  Note Tiling Tip: Before setting tile on the 
shower pan floor you must comply with 
the following: tile up to the edges of the 
recessed trench (A and B) so that the 
shower pan floor is not visible, while at the 
same time insuring (i) none of the shower 
pan floor tiles extend beyond the shower 
pan floor into the space above the 
recessed trench, (ii) proper drainage is 
achieved by having none of the tiles 
encroach into the drainage space between 
the tiled shower pan floor and the Solid 
Drain Grate, and (iii) the floor tile will not 
prevent the removal of the Solid Drain 
Grate from the Trench Recess. 
4.  Now, remove the Solid Drain Grate from 
the Trench Recess and tile the shower pan 
floor.
