1. Locate Drain Pipe and Shower Base
Locate the Drain Pipe
NOTE: The drain system is designed for a 2" (5.1 cm) drain pipe that is flush with the subfloor.
Determine the location of the drain pipe using the dimensions illustrated.
Cut a 5" (12.7 cm) to 5-1/2" (14 cm) hole in the subfloor. This will provide adequate clearance for
the drain system.
Install the drain pipe. Verify the drain pipe is self-supporting and strapped down.
Locate the Shower Receptor
NOTE: The subfloor under the shower receptor must be level. Adjust the subfloor with leveling compound
as needed. Do not shim.
Place the shower receptor firmly against the two adjacent walls. Ensure the drain pipe is aligned
with the precut hole in the shower receptor.
Using the top edge of the raised lip on the shower receptor as a guide, mark the adjacent walls with
a pencil.
Set the shower base aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut the finished walls along the pencil marks.
Set the shower receptor back into place. Verify the shower base is flush against the studs. Do not
install the shower receptor flush against the finished walls.
If the shower receptor is not flush against the studs, use filler strip to adjust the wall thickness.
Set the shower receptor aside.
