3. Prepare the Receptor

WARNING: Risk of product or property damage. Do not support the shower receptor by the rim.

The weight of the shower receptor should be supported by the bottom of the shower receptor.

CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. If a watertight seal on the drain is not obtained,

water damage to the receptor bottom and the subﬂoor may occur.

Install the drain to the shower receptor according to the drain manufacturer’s instructions. Follow

all local building codes, standards, and regulations.

Make sure the receptor rests on the leveling pads provided. When leveling the receptor, shimming

may be necessary. Make sure the receptor is level before fastening to the stud framing.

Clean the shower receptor to reduce the risk of surface damage, then place a clean drop cloth or

other similar material into the bottom of the shower receptor.

4. Secure the Receptor

Drill 1/8″ (3 mm) holes through the nailing-in ﬂange at all stud locations. If needed, shim between

the nailing-in ﬂange and the stud to prevent cracking while drilling and to remove any gap between

the studs and the nailing-in ﬂange.

Attach the drain to the P-trap according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Follow all local building

codes, standards, and regulations.

Attach 1/4″ furring strips to the studs around the receptor.

Secure the nailing-in ﬂange to the studs with screws or galvanized screws.

Install the faucet valving. Open the water supplies and check all connections for leaks.

Run water into the receptor and check the drain connection for leaks.
