5. Install the Finished Wall

IMPORTANT! If the shower receptor is adjacent to vertical ducts or wiring, the shower receptor must be

surrounded with ﬁre-rated, water-resistant wall material.

Install the cement board with the factory edge a minimum of 5/8″ (15 mm) above the ﬁnished,

nailing-in ﬂange threshold of the shower receptor. Finish all seams using appropriate materials.

Apply silicone sealant to the upper portion of the nailing-in ﬂange where it will meet the

water-resistant wall material.

Ensure the cement board is sealed to the nailing-in ﬂange.

Mud, tape, and ﬁnish the cement board using appropriate materials.

Seal the joints between the receptor and the ﬁnished wall with silicone sealant. RTV (Room

Temperature Vulcanizing) sealant is recommended.

6. Complete the Installation

NOTE: Refer to the sealant and/or putty manufacturer’s instructions for proper application techniques.

Seal around the valving and outlets with silicone sealant or plumbers putty.

Install the shower door according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Install the ﬁnished ﬂoor.

Apply silicone sealant along the front edge of the receptor where it meets the ﬂoor.

Place the removable cover in the recessed area around the drain. Lightly push down on the

removable cover to secure the suction cups to the receptor.
