Before You Begin

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Locate the rough plumbing for the drain in accordance with the roughing-in dimensions for your
particular model.
A variety of installations are possible. These instructions show suggested installation procedures.
Your particular installation may require other construction techniques.
Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the required tools, materials, and
installation sequences.
Your shower receptor comes packaged in a single carton containing a one-piece shower receptor.
This carton will fit through any standard door. You should not remove the receptor from the
package until you are ready to install it.
Unpack and inspect the shower receptor for damage. If you find any damage, do not install the
receptor. Report the specific problem to your dealer immediately.
After inspection, return the shower receptor to the carton until you are ready to install it.
The shower receptor must be installed to an adequately supported and level subfloor.
Before installing the stud framing for the shower receptor, locate a 2" (5.1 cm) diameter drain pipe
that extends 3/8" (1 cm) above the subfloor.
