Prepare Receptor and Subfloor (cont.)
Installation with Optional Mortar or Cement Bed
NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide an
acceptable, durable bond.
Remove the receptor from the alcove.
If present, remove any landscaping fabric.
NOTE: The receptor supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Build a dam to keep the flooring material clear of the drain area.
Spread a 2" (5 cm) layer of cement or mortar on the subfloor except where the receptor feet will be
set.
Remove the dam.
Position a piece of plastic drop cloth material on top of the cement or mortar bed.
Move the receptor into position.
Verify that the receptor is level and resting on all supports.
Clean the receptor to reduce the risk of surface damage.
If not already present, 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.
