Do not use nails or screws to attach the base to the walls
or the floor. The mortar/thinset will prevent the shower
base from moving without any mechanical fasteners.
Do Not Use Nails
Do not use nails to secure the shower base to
the framing. The shower base must be level in
both directions when installed. Never use
hammers, nails, or screws which could adversely affect
the integrity of this product. Nails and screws could
puncture the shower base, resulting in water or other
damage to floors, pipes, walls, or other portions of your
building or home.
4.
Level the shower base in both directions, and allow
the mortar/thinset to cure for 24 hours.
If no-hub, cast-iron drain pipe is used, make sure the
end of the pipe is free of nicks, cuts, or burrs. To ensure
a proper seal, lightly sand the drain pipe with emery
paper or “0000” steel wool.
5.
Lubricate both caulk seal gasket (1) and drain pipe
(2) with either liquid hand soap or dishwashing
liquid, and slide the caulk seal gasket over the drain
pipe.
6.
Complete the installation by snapping strainer plates
(3) into place. With metal strainers, it may be
necessary to bend the strainer tines slightly outward.
If you need to pry the strainer up from the drain, you
have a proper fit.
7.
Place cardboard, or similar scratch resistant
material, in the bottom of the shower base to
prevent possible damage.
