Note: Steps 1–3 apply for both Pre-Pitch and Quick Pitch.
1 Determine the size and shape of your shower including the drain
type and its location.
4 To determine the quantity of Kirb Perfect #543 sections needed,
measure in 30" increments. Curb sections are 30" and have dove
tail connectors to attach to one another and will accommodate
any length or angles.
2 With the roughed-in 2 x 4 curb in place, measure the distances
from the drain to the walls, curb and corners.
Note: Quick Pitch Float Sticks #QPK-101 and Pre-Pitch Float
Sticks #STD-201 are 36" in length. If the distances are greater,
Quick Pitch Extended Float Sticks #EXT-103 and Pre-Pitch
Extended Float Sticks #EXT-202 kits will be required.
3 Starting in a corner, measure by 2–2½ foot increments around
the perimeter of the shower making sure a Float Stick will be
positioned in each corner.
Note: The closer the Float Stick ends are to each other, the
easier the screeding of the mud mixture will be.
5 Determine which type of shower drain you will be using. Quick
Pitch Kits #QPK-101 come supplied with a center ring designed
for standard shower drains to attach the float sticks. If a square
drain or 3" drain is to be used, the Universal Center Ring
(#QPUCR-108) is available.
6 To figure the liner size or amount of liquid membrane, measure
the shower compartment length and width and add at least 6" or
what is needed to all sides so the liner will go up the walls to a
height of 3" above the shower curb on all walls and over the curb.

a Roll-On (liquid) Liner for Waterproofing
7 Once you have figured the kits and liner necessary for your Goof
Proof Shower, you will need to figure the amount of bedding mud
(mixture consist of 1 part Portland cement and 4 parts clean sand)
necessary to fill the kits. Using the square footage of your shower
floor, multiply by 12.5lbs. per sq. ft. (i.e. 3 x 5 = 15 sq. ft. x 12.5
lbs. = 188lbs.). This amount should accommodate all kits.
8 Once all materials are gathered, you will want to watch our
instructional DVD a time or two to gain confidence in the procedure
necessary to complete your Goof Proof Shower. (The DVD is
accessible on line 24/7.)
