American Standard 3232.ST Cleaning And Maintenance, Shower Base, Waste Pipe Height, front edge

1 Insure the floor and stud walls are square and plumb. Provide a 5" x 5" (127mm x 127mm) opening in the floor for the drain (see Figs. A & B). The drain plug accom-modates a 2" (51mm) PVC waste pipe. The waste pipe should extend above the surface of the sub-floor, refer to chart on page 2 for the required dimensions. See product drawings on this page for the specified drain locations.

4 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 as shown in Fig. E. It will be necessary to "rock" the shower base until the top of the tile flange aligns
