Shower Floor
Instructions for Installation
Dimensional Data (inches and [ mm ]) are subject to manufacturing Tolerances and change without notice.
Rough-In Preparation
IMPORTANT:
Rough-In dimensions are provided as a reference only. Upon receiving the shower floor check all dimensions
prior to actually Roughing-In the shower floor. Actual size dimensions are subject to a plus or minus tolerance of 1/16 [2].
1. Referencing the Rough-in data obtained from the actual shower floor,
determine the positioning of the base, in relation to the installed drain line.
2. Provide a 5" [127] square opening in the sub-floor, based on the Rough-In data, to accommodate the drain body of the
shower base. Make sure that the drain body is centered in the 5" [127] opening to prevent any rubbing against the sub-floor.
Not centering the drain body could result in a squeaky shower floor and/or damage that would void the warranty.
3. The entire surface MUST be leveled prior to installation of the base to compensate for any inconsistencies in the sub-floor or slab,
use a floor leveling
bedding
material such as Mortar, 30lb. roofing felt, gypsum cement, or minimal expansion structural foam to set
the base, however the base must remain level in order for it to drain properly and the bottom of the base must make full contact
with leveling material for proper support.

Installation
1. Locate the PVC drain assembly (shipped loose) and turn it so the strainer is facing downward
and unscrew and remove both the PVC lock ring and rubber gasket from drain body. Do not discard.
2. Next take the PVC drain body (less gasket and lock ring) and place in to the drain hole in the shower base.
Be sure to properly seat the top flange of the drain body into groove in the shower.
3. While keeping the drain body in position, locate the rubber gasket and then the lock ring and reattach them in that order.
Tighten the lock nut making a watertight connection. Be sure
not
to over tighten and damage the base.
4. Remove the steel strainer and the steel caulking nut compression bar from the drain and apply lubricant
(liquid soap or silicone sealant) to the inside of the compression gasket.
5.
IMPORTANT:
It is extremely important that when the 2" [51] DWV waste pipe is trimmed to top of sub-floor, that the cut edge is straight and
free from any
burrs
and/or
sharp edges
. Failure to do so could result in a tear or puncture of the compression gasket causing the gasket to
leak and possible water damage to occur. Zurn Industries is
not
liable for any damages that result from improper installation procedures.
6.
Carefully
place the shower base directly over the 2" [51] DWV wastes pipe and gently push the compression gasket over the waste pipe.
Make sure that the top of the
drain seal
is
even
with the top of the 2" [51] waste pipe and is in compliance with all local codes and regulations.
7. Locate the compression nut tool and place it back into the drain. Insert a large screwdriver into the slot in the
compression nut tool and turn clockwise until the nut has firmly seated the gasket around the waste pipe.
8. Once the shower base is in position and the drain is correctly installed check that the shower base drains properly and is level
in two directions. If the shower base does not drain properly, rectify the problem before proceeding with the installation.
9. Drill securing screws into vertical anchor flange at each wall stud location with appropriate flat-head wood screws.
10. Snap the removable strainer plate back on to top of drain opening.
