Shower bases require purchasing a round shower strainer
type drain for use with a standard 2" (51 mm) plastic
schedule 40 waste pipe. Figure B shows the typical drain
assembly. Before installing drain into the shower base,
remove strainer Figure B. This will be installed after
shower base is in its final position. Cut the wastepipe
height so that the drain body will fit snug in the shower
base. Apply silicone sealant between the drain body and
shower base and follow all of the drain manufacturer's
recommended installation details.

Mix a non-shrinking bedding material such as mortar and apply enough bedding material to support the entire
bottom of the shower base.
Concrete is NOT recommended. The shower base is NOT to be supported by the base flange.
Note: Do not nail, screw or drill through the flange.

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 Figure C. 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 1. 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 D.
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.
5
Tape over the strainer to protect the finish and prevent construction
debris from entering the drain.
Finish installation as shown in Figure E.
