SHOWER BASE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

PREPERATION 

READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND FOLLOW ALL LOCAL PLUMBING AND BUILDING CODES. 
Unpack and inspect the shower base for any shipping damages and ensure no pieces are missing. 
If any damages are discovered, DO NOT INSTALL. 

Ensure plumbing rough-in for both the drain and the supply lines are completed according to your shower base’s 
dimensions. 
The floor area where your shower will be installed must be structurally sound and strong enough to hold the shower base 
and an adult’s weight. Also make sure that the walls and floor are square, plumb, and level. If need by, level the floor with 
floor leveler. 
Sweep the floor to remove construction debris and vacuum to remove all remaining dust. 
If renovating, remove all existing wall material in order to install shower base directly on wall studs. 
Ensure that the wood frame has the appropriate dimensions. 
If you plan on installing a door, you will also need to plan studs to receive the fastener screws when installing the jams. 
Please refer to the installation guide provided with the door. 
All plumbing rough-in for both the drain and the supply should be completed before installing the shower base. 

INSTALLATION STEPS 
Ensure walls and floor are square, plumb and level and that the waste 
pipes are well positioned. Position the unit in the prepared location and 
adjust level with wood shims or mortar. It will be easier to adjust the tray 
if you have access to it from the outside of the formwork. Before 
proceeding to the final installation, verify drainage by pouring water in the 
shower base. 
Tray with tiling flange on 3 sides and corner tray 
The sides with tiling flange must lean against the 2 x 4s. (see fig) 

Ceramic tiles must be flush with the base’s interior walls, the walls must be 
perfectly square and the tray perfectly level in or-der to be able to adjust the 
doors correctly. (see fig) 

IMPORTANT!  
Note that to install all basic shower models, the sides and feet of the base must be properly supported. It is strongly 
recommended that you rest the base on a mortar bed, make a structure to support the center (drain) of the base, and 
level the floor using a floor leveler.
