INSTALLATION OF DRAIN ASSEMBLY
After the bedding material has been poured and before it sets, lower the shower base into position
with the drain assembly sliding over the waste pipe (Fig. D). It will be necessary to "rock" the shower base
until the top of the tile flange aligns with the lines drawn on the stud walls from Step 3. Make sure the
apron is contacting the rough floor along the entire length of the shower base and ensure that the base is
level in two directions as shown in Figure E.

Tape over the strainer to protect the finish and prevent construction debris from entering the drain.
Finish installation as shown in Figure F.
To secure the shower base to wood studs, use drywall screws with flatwashers or roofing nails
immediately above the flange of the shower base. To secure the shower base to the steel studs, use 4"
drywall screws and flatwashers.
Note: Allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the bottom of the
shower base.Place strainer back into place and conduct a water test of drain and plumbing
to ensure there are no leaks.
