A. PRE-INSTALLATION NOTE
It is recommended installa on prac ce to check the edge of the base into
the wall by the width of the ling flange in order to achieve a leak-free
junc on with the wall cladding material (see diagram ‘A’)
B. TIMBER FLOOR
1. Floor boards or sheet flooring must cover the en re underside of the base.
Cut a hole for waste no greater than 120 x 120mm.
Note: If renova ng, ensure the floor is structurally sound. Replace the floor
if necessary.
2. Shower Base to be fixed to floor by spreading cement-based le adhesive on
the floor using a 12mm notched trowel, or by use of silicone sealant.
Alterna vely, where the floor is not perfectly level, the base can be set into
a mortar bed - spread a 10mm thick mortar bed of 4:1 Washed Sand: Spread
the mortar over the whole area where base is to be installed then trowel off
level.
Do not use ‘Liquid Nails’ or similar rigid construc on-type adhesive to
install base.
3. Lay the shower base on the prepared bed and use a spirit level to adjust the
base to ensure it is level along all sides and diagonally. This will allow the
base to drain properly as it has an inbuilt fall to the waste outlet.
4.
At this point it is impera ve to check that water drains to the waste
outlet prior to lining the shower walls (see diagram ‘D’). Failure to do so is
a breach of warranty.
C. CONCRETE SLAB
1. Any boxed opening in the slab to accommodate the waste must not exceed
300mm in width beneath the shower base.
2. Shower Base to be fixed to floor by spreading cement-based le adhesive on
the floor using a 12mm notched trowel, or by use of silicone sealant.
Alterna vely, where the floor is not perfectly level, the base can be set into
a mortar bed - spread a 10mm thick mortar bed of 4:1 Washed Sand: Spread
the mortar over the whole area where base is to be installed then trowel off
level.
Do not use ‘Liquid Nails’ or similar rigid construc on-type adhesive to
install base.
3. Lay the shower base on the prepared bed and use a spirit level to adjust the
base to ensure it is level along all sides and diagonally. This will allow the
base to drain properly as it has an inbuilt fall to the waste outlet.
4.
At this point it is impera ve to check that water drains to the waste
outlet prior to lining the shower walls (see diagram ‘D’). Failure to do so is
a breach of warranty.
5. Backfill the opening in the slab with a 4:1 Washed Sand: Cement mix
ensuring the mortar is packed ghtly around the waste outlet and all the
way back into the boxed sec on of the slab and up to the underside of the
base to give maximum support.
Note: Where required by regula on plas c pipe and fi�ngs may need to be
lagged prior to backfilling.
D. SMARTPAN/SMARTWASTE
When the installa on uses these products as the waste collectors, ensure
that the lid/cover is fi�ed, to provide adequate support for the base (see
diagram ‘E’).
