SHOWER BASE INSTALLATION
Note: The shower base threshold and
3 back legs have been factory cut level
on all Barrier Free Shower bases. At
the time of installation, ensure the
flooring is level. If the floor is not
level, the outcome of the installed unit
could possibly result in difficulty with
the installation. In addition, the area
must be clean and free of debris and
moisture.
A 10" x 10" x 1/2" deep box out (6"
core Drill) is required to be centered
around the Drain pipe. Ensure this area
is prepared before installation. (see
figure 4)
1. Place the shower base into the intended
alcove to confirm proper placement of the
drainpipe and sizing of the above. **Helpful
tip: Place two sections of ½" PVC pipe on
floor to help slide and tilt unit into position.
(Remove PVC Pipe before proceeding to
step 2.) Draw a line on the floor where the
front of the threshold lies.
2. Remove the shower base from the
alcove by leaning it forward, so that it can
be laid on its front flanges.
3. Clean the area of all dirt, trash, oil,
grease, water and other contaminants that
may affect adhesion.
4. Apply 100% silicone caulking bead ½"
wide by ½" high around the box out. (See
Figure 5)
5. Apply 4- 100% silicone caulking pads ¾"
high by 3" wide halfway between outer wall
and drain. (See Figure 4)
NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BACKFILL
THE DRAIN LOCATION WITH BEDDING
MATERIAL
6. Next, apply a continuous bead of 100%
silicone caulking ½" wide x 3/8" thick x
length behind the black line marked at the
threshold where the shower base will rest
once the unit is installed.
7. Install the drain provided in the shower
base prior to setting it into its final position,
but do not store the shower base on its
bottom while the drain is installed.
**HELPFUL
TIP:
TEMPORARILY
REMOVE DONUT SEAL.**
