BASE INSTALLATION
Step 1 - Strip alcove to bare studs. Shower stud
pocket should be constructed as shown on stud
layout page. Studs should be plumb and square to
the subfloor.
Floor must be clean, smooth, and level. Subfloor
must be installed in the stud layout. Do not install
shower base on open floor joists.
Cut hole in subfloor as shown to accommodate
drain (not included). Make sure floor cutout is in
proper location for directional pans.
Step 2 - Trial fit base in prepared alcove. With base
sitting on the floor, check for level on top of the
base. The base should be level from front-to-back
and side-to-side (Figure 1).
If base is not level, install wood shims between base
feet and subfloor as needed.
Remove base from alcove.
Optional: If subfloor is not level, a floor leveling
compound (smooth mortar) or a similar quick-set-
ting compound specifically made for leveling floors
is an excellent way to fully support and level base
instead of wood shims.
Step 3 - Apply construction adhesive to all feet and
install base into alcove (Figure 2).
Level base with shims into construction adhesive
under feet (Figure 3).
After base is leveled, if alcove is larger than base,
shim between base and studs to create tight fit.
Predrill holes using 1/8” drill bit. Then screw base
flange to all studs (Figure 4).
NOTE: Failure to screw flange to all studs will void
warranty.
