“SLIMLINE SHOWER BASE” Ver.5 Rev.6 10/2015

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 in the level until the bedding settles

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

See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 for details.
