INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUGGESTED TOOLS AND MATERIALS
WARNING: Do not use drywall screws to secure flanges to wall studs. Product damage will occur and will void the warranty. Entire bottom support must be in contact with a flat, level surface.
- Read the complete instruction manual before beginning installation.
- Confirm that your model will fit in intended location and plumbing fixtures are located where legally required before beginning installation.
- Not all drawings on this manual are drawn to scale. Please refer to the model chart.
- Walls and sub-floor must be solid, flush and square.
- Always use drop cloth to protect shower base from damage during installation.
- Two people are recommended to install and move this product.
NOTE: This manual shows our recommended installation method, if your installation requires another method and you should consult a professional prior.
1. Rough-In
- Rough plumbing must be pre-installed by a licensed plumber before shower base installation.
- If floor drain-hole installation is needed, contact a licensed plumber.
- Dimensions given during roughing-in are crucial for a proper installation.
NOTE: All measurments are nominal
2. Level the Floor
A) Verify that the shower base is level using the “level” tool on all four sides.
- If the shower base is level proceed to step B.
- If shower base is not level use shims or mortar compound to adjust accordingly. Verify with a level.
B) Mark drain hole on floor. All in floor plumbing must be installed by a licensed plumber.
3. Pre-Attach Drain
WARNING: Do not discard cardboard ring.
- Remove shower base from dry fit.
- Thread silicone or plumbers putty under drain lip, so when inserted excess sealant will squeeze out from between drain and shower base floor creating an air tight seal.
- Flip shower pan upside down: Add rubber ring then cardboard ring and lastly screw on the plastic ring.
- While holding the bottom of the shower drain in place with split-joint pliers, use shower wrench to tighten the plastic ring until drain sits flush with the shower base floor.
- Use rubbing alcohol and a towel to remove all excess silicone/plumbers putty from around drain lip.
4. Installing Shower Base
- Re-insert shower pan into shower cavity making sure that the shower base drain and floor rough-in are aligned.
- Before laying down shower base, fill shower cavity with expanding foam in snake formation. Leave 6-8 inches from end of shower area empty if expanding foam.
- Re-insert shower pan into shower cavity leaving 1/8” (use shims) between wood studs and shower base on all sides.
- Verify shower base is level using level tool on all 4 sides.
NOTE: Expanding foam generally settles within 10-15 minutes.
- Place drop cloth in bathtub and stand inside the shower base to press it to the floor when securing to the wall studs.
