This shower system is designed to be installed on a level, bare floor. It is necessary for any existing shower to be
completely removed. Tear out and remove all old material to expose the 2 x 4 wall studs. Clean up the shower
area, removing all dust and old material from the area.
Cold Weather Warning
: We recommend not installing your shower below the temperature of 70°F. The shower will
be fine in cold weather after installation, but during installation bending and handling shower components in
cold weather can cause breakage. Frigid conditions can make some shower components brittle and susceptible
to cracking during rough installation handling.

It is easier to check alignment of studs and pan without the drain
installed into the pan.
Place the pan in the planned position. Check to see that the
spacing between the metal pan flange and 2 x 4 studs are flush.
Some shimming or sanding of the 2 x 4 studs may be required to
flush the studs with the metal pan flange. When screwing in the
½" cement board the metal flange will pull fast to the studs, and
will secure the pan in place. (

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE SHIMS UNDER THE SHOWER PAN. SHOWER PAN MUST SIT ON A FLAT LEVEL FLOOR.
SILICONE
Each shower will typically require between 12-24 tubes depending on your size and configuration. There are different
brands that make RTV silicone (e.g. "DAP", "LOCTITE", or "A.S.I.") or we also recommend the use of GE Silicone II. You
can purchase silicone on our website under Shower Accessories.
