6. After the bedding material has been

poured and

before

it 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

that the base is level in all directions.

You may need to use shims to hold the

tray level until the bedding fully sets.

Remove all excess mortar.

See Fig. 7 for details.

7. 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 or wall kit and the shower base. Use caulk to fill the gap.

See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 for details.
