SHOWER RECEPTOR INSTALLATION
1. The shower receptor m
ust not be installed on exposed floor joists. If there is no sub-floor at the desired location,
a one-piece section of plywood (CDX) the same thickness as the surrounding sub-floor must be securely fastened
in position so that the shower receptor is fully supported.
2. As specified in the “ROUGH-IN” illustrations — a 5” (inch) square opening in the sub-floor or slab is required at
the centerlines of the alcove to accept the shower drain body. Drain connection requires 2” (inch) DWV pipe.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS* See back cover page.
ROUGH-IN FRAMING
After you have determined where your MUSTEE SHOWERWALL is to be located, you will have to construct the
appropriate alcove. Be sure to plan your rough plumbing requirements (drain-venting-supply lines) at this time.
Refer to “ROUGH-IN” illustrations for dimenstions, Figures A & B.
After you have constructed your alcove and completed your rough plumbing requirements you are now ready to
install the shower receptor.
HINT: This would be a good time to install Kraft Faced fiberglass insulation or unfaced batting with a
4 mil. (poly) vapor barrier film between the open studs of your alcove area.
HINT:
To eliminate “creaking or squeaks” we recommend
that “Deck” / Bugle Head screws be used to secure
the sub-floor to the floor joists especially under the
shower receptor in the alcove area.

with the back surfaces
of these panels.
