Installation Guide

Step 3
Mix a modied thin-set mortar suitable for the suboor as per manufacturer specication. Use a 3/8” square
notched trowel and apply thin-set mortar to the oor and backside of shower pan. Assure that the thin-set is
troweled in the same direction. Spreading the thin-set with a square notched trowel will assure full coverage.
Set the shower pan in place.
Step 4
Protect the shower pan by using a double layer of cardboard. Take two bags of thin-set and place them in the
drain area for extra weight to assure the pan slope stays at a minimum of 2%. The drain cover will be screwed
onto the pan just before tile installation.
Suboor Prep
You must begin with a dry and structurally sound suboor. If water damage, rotting, or any other structural
defects are present, you MUST repair prior to installing your new shower pan. A clean and level suboor is
required for a successful installation. After cleaning the suboor, use a level to check the suboor. The suboor
MUST be level so that the shower pan will drain correctly.
Note: a self-leveling mortar can be used to level the suboor.
Step 1
Cut the PVC pipe down to 2” below suboor by using a internal PVC pipe cutter drill bit. Use a 2”

Step 2
Pret the shower pan and cut to t the shower area, if needed. You can cut the foam board with a utility knife
or a circular saw. If the hole in the suboor is wider than 4” diameter, use the metal plate to support the area
around the PVC pipe. Install the adapter to the CONNECTITE
