4 EASY STEPS TO INSTALL YOUR NEW SHOWER BASE
STEP 1.
If the subfloor is level, no other preparation is necessary. You can proceed to install the base. If the subfloor
is not level, level shower base by spreading floor leveling compound, mortar, plaster or minimal expansion
structural foam with a density of a minimum of 5 lbs./cubic ft. EVENLY over ENTIRE area where base will
be installed. (See Figure 1.) NOTE: The compound used MUST make contact with the entire bottom
surface of the base feet. The base is NOT to be supported by the base flange.
STEP 2.
Position and install base on leveled surface over drain.
SPREAD MORTAR OR LEVELING COMPOUND ETC.
EVENLY OVER ENTIRE AREA. LIFT AND LOWER BASE
OVER CENTER OF DRAIN PIPE AND SET INTO PLACE
