Install the Receptor (cont.)
Use a level to verify that the receptor is level and well supported by the floor. If
required, place shims under the receptor supports to level the receptor.
If the subfloor is not level or flat and the receptor is not stable, consider installing
an optional mortar cement bed.
Install a Mortar Cement Bed (Optional)
Remove the receptor from the alcove.
NOTE: Do not use plaster, gypsum cement, or drywall compound for this
application, as they will not provide adequate structural support.
NOTE: The receptor supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) layer of mortar cement on the subfloor, spreading it so that
each area of the receptor that will contact the subfloor has mortar cement. Do not
spread the mortar cement around the drain area. Allow room for the mortar
cement to expand from the weight of the receptor.
Immediately move the receptor into position.
Verify that the receptor is level and resting on all supports.
Clean the receptor to reduce the risk of damaging the surface.
Place a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom and over the
outside edge of the receptor. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the unit.
Secure the Receptor
NOTE: The receptor can be attached using roofing nails or non-tapered flathead
screws. Ensure the roofing nails or non-tapered flathead screws are galvanized or
plated.
Verify the studs are within 1/8" (3 mm) of the receptor at the recommended
roofing nail locations. Shim if necessary.
IMPORTANT! Position the roofing nail or non-tapered flathead screw above the
receptor flange. Do not nail or drill through the receptor flange.
Install roofing nails or flathead screws over the top of the receptor flange at each
stud location, as shown. This will secure the receptor flange to the studs.
Ensure the head of the roofing nail or non-tapered flathead screw will not
interfere with the installation of the wall surrounds or finished wall material.
Installer le receveur
Positionner le receveur
Installer le drain au receveur de la douche et selon les instructions du fabricant.
IMPORTANT! Des grincements peuvent avoir lieu si le receveur est installé sur un
plancher autre que contreplaqué. Pour éviter les grincements, placer un patin fourni
entre la baignoire et le plancher et sous les supports de baignoire. Utiliser les patins
fournis. Ne pas utiliser de goudron.
Positionner le patin (fourni) sous les supports du receveur.
Déplacer le receveur à l'emplacement d'installation.
Utiliser un niveau à bulle pour vérifier la mise à niveau du receveur et le bon
support par le sol. Si requis, placer des cales sous les supports du receveur pour le
niveler.
