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 3/8" ± 1/16". Note: Variations in levelness of subfloor may require adjustment of waste pipe height. See product drawings on this page for the specified drain locations.

After leveling base on subfloor, use base and mark studs. This will be the installed height of shower base. Mix the low-shrink bedding material (grout, mortar, plaster, etc.). Concrete is not recommended. Apply enough bedding material to support the entire bottom of the shower base. The bedding material must not be used under the apron (front edge).
