RECESS INSTALLATION
See Figure 5
This diagram illustrates a typical installation for showers
that NO RECESS NECESSARY have vertical thresholds
3/4” to 2” high. The recess allows the shower to be installed
below the nished oor level.
The recess is deep enough so the shower threshold will be
at the acceptable height above the nished oor.
An alternative to the recessed installation is to either build
up the entire room oor to be even with the top of the
threshold, or to construct a ramp to the shower entry.
NO RECESS INSTALLATION
See Figure 6
This diagram illustrates a typical installation for showers
that do not require recessed installation to comply with
ADA guidelines. This style shower is illustrated in Figure
2. They are for 36” x 36” inside dimension showers with
vertical thresholds no higher than 1/2”.
SHOWER FRAMING ENCLOSURE
Construct a framing enclosure for the shower you will
be installing. To obtain shower dimensions and drain
location, measure the shower you will be installing, view
the dimensioned product drawing on the side wall of the
shower, or use a dimensioned drawing provided by the
contractor.
