Pre-Pitch™ System
For "goof proof" suboor construction
Pre-Pitch™ is a unique, stay in place screeding tool designed for use underneath
shower pan liners. The rst product to be installed, Pre-Pitch™ creates the proper
sub oor pitch (¼"per 12" run) needed to direct water ow towards the weep holes
that are an integral part of shower oor drains. By having a pitch under the pan liner,
water that passes through the mud bed is now directed to the weep holes instead
of being trapped between the mud bed and the liner where many mold and mildew
related issues originate. The plastic Pre-Pitch™ sticks have holes in their vertical web
which helps to act as reinforcement and are easily cut with a hacksaw, PVC cutter
or dry diamond blade. For wood suboors, Pre-Pitch™ can be screwed or nailed in
place. For concrete suboors, use two sided tape. Suboor must be level, sound and
properly prepared prior to installing Pre-Pitch™.
