This shower system is designed to be installed on a level, bare floor. It is necessary for any existing shower to be 

completely removed. Tear out and remove all old material to expose the 2 x 4 wall studs. Clean up the shower area, 

removing all dust and old material from the area.

Cold Weather Warning

: We recommend not installing your shower below the temperature of 70°F.  The shower will be 

fine in cold weather after installation, but during installation bending and handling shower components in cold weather 

can cause breakage. Frigid conditions can make some shower components brittle and susceptible to cracking during 

rough installation handling.

It is easier to check alignment of studs and pan without the 

drain installed into the pan. 

Place the pan in the planned position. Check to see that 

the spacing between the metal pan flange and 2 x 4 studs 

are flush. Some shimming or sanding of the 2 x 4 studs may 

be required to flush the studs with the metal pan flange. 

When screwing in the ½" cement board the metal flange 

will pull fast to the studs, and will secure the metal pan in 

place. (
