Construct the Framing (cont.)
For installations with wall surrounds, cover or seal any loose material.
Construct the Floor
NOTE: The receptor basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is plumb and level with
respect to the stud framing. If the subfloor is not level, shimming may be required to level the unit. Make
sure that the floor offers adequate support as required by local building codes.
Cut a 4-1/2" (11.4 cm) diameter hole around the drain location.
Verify that the subfloor is flat and level. If the subfloor is not level, proceed to the "Level the Floor"
subsection.
Level the Floor
The receptor supports must rest directly on a level subfloor. The following steps may be used to level an
uneven floor:
Build a dam that will keep the flooring material in the desired location.
Spread and level a layer of concrete or mortar on the subfloor where the receptor supports will be
located.
Allow the material to cure.
Remove the dam.
