Optional Shower Base Toe-nailing Procedure

If desired, after the shower base has been set into a

mortar base and leveled, follow this optional procedure

for toe-nailing the shower base to the stud wall.

The shower base must be set in a bed of mortar

to properly hold it in place. Nails can also be

added, but are not necessary, to hold the

shower base in place. To prevent damage to

the shower floor and possible water or other damage to

floors, pipes, walls, or other portions of your building or

home, do not nail or screw through any part of the

shower floor. If nails are used, they must be installed

above the shower base flange and not through it.

1. Drive large head (roofing) nails into the studs just

above the top of the shower base flange, at a slight

downward angle until the head is flush with the edge

of the shower base lip.

2. Tap the head of the nail downward so it is just above

the flange. Do not put side or downward pressure

against the flange.
