A.) THIS SHOWER BASE MUST BE SUPPORTED ALONG IT'S ENTIRE BOTTOM. We recommend the use of
mortar as bedding material (sand is not recommended). Apply enough bedding to support the complete bottom of
the shower base. After the bedding has been poured, and before it sets, position the shower base within the recess
until the rim is leveled against the leveling stringers (see "Typical Recess Installation") shown below. The rim of the
shower base
MUST NOT support weight. Allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight
to the rim or bottom of the shower base.
C.) Any finish material such as tile or wallboard must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the shower base.
Flooring will be butted against the bottom of the shower base apron, also holding the shower base in place.
B.) Check level front to back and side to side, shim as necessary. To secure the shower base to wood studs, use
drywall screws with flatwashers or roofing nails immediately above the flange of the shower base. To secure the
shower base to steel studs, use 4" drywall screws and flatwashers.
