3. Following the shower pan installation, place the back wall sections, then the side walls.
The parts are indexed to one another by a slot and pin connection system. The parts
are pushed tight together before connection to the framing pocket is made. To have a
successful installation, two persons are required.
4. Plan for the location of the shower water control valve.
NOTE:
If planning to install the control valve in the back wall of the shower with a two piece
back wall, consider the location of the seam in the wall. The control valve must be located
at a height where the seam and mounting flange do not cause a conflict with placement
of the control valve, or water supply lines. These considerations are not necessary if installing
on the one piece back wall, or side wall. Plan for routing the water supply lines to the control
valve installation location.
5. In the installation location, the drain opening in the floor should have a 6" core for the
drain pipe, and a 10" x 10" x 1/2" deep recess in the sub floor. (The drain core must be
blocked when filled with Thin-Set). The 10" x 10" x 1/2" deep recess is required to assure
proper drainage. See Detail of Drain Core Area
6. Check the outside of the package for visible shipping damage. If damage is noted,
contact your supplier before proceeding with the installation.
7. Locate accessories if any were ordered. They will be packaged in the pan box. Remove
those and store them in a safe location for easy retrieval.
8. Identify each package and its contents. The label on the box is clearly marked indicating
a shower pan and wall panels.
