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.
