•• Pre-Pitch System
®
U.S. Patent Nos. 6,088,984; 6,155,015 and 6,568,140
Pre-Pitch™ is a unique, stay in place screeding tool designed for use Underneath shower pan lin-
ers. The rst product to be installed, Pre-Pitch creates the proper sub oor pitch (1/4” 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 subloors, Pre-Pitch can be screwed or nailed in place. For concrete suboors, use
two sided tape. Suboor must be level, sound and properly prepared prior to installing Pre-Pitch.
