8. Set the shower base into place and
guide the drainpipe into the drain by using
the handle of a hammer or similar object.
9. Level the shower base and set plumb.
If the floor is not level, it will require the
use of shims (not provided) to level the
shower base. (See Figure 6)
If shims are required, they should be
placed no more than 6 inches apart to
provide proper support.
DO NOT SHIM
THE UNIT MORE THAN 1/8”.
If the
shower base requires more than 1/8” shim
adjustment, the shower base will need to
be pulled out and the floor will need to be
leveled. Ensure the drain is lined up in the
appropriate areas.
10. Secure the shower base to the
framing members through the flanges
using 6D galvanized screws on 8”
centers.
11. Place 2-50 lb. bags of concrete on the
drain. (See Figure 8)
12. Place 1-50 lb. bag of concrete on
threshold. (See Figure 8)
13. A 2ft level should be placed from
floor to ensure the unit has proper slope
and drainage. If unit does not drain
properly, the unit must be pulled back up
to determine where the problem lies. This
should be done immediately after step 12
before the materials have had a chance to
set. (See Figure 7)
14. Unit should be walked in and found to
be stable with minimal flex.
15. All bracing can be removed after 12
hours after 100% silicone adhesive has
been applied.
