Before you begin, note the following…
•
Caution, safety first! Be certain to have and use the proper safety gear.
•
Plumbing fixtures and associated connections are not supplied by Metpar. Verify that pipes and waste
lines have been installed in their proper location before you proceed.
•
This installation manual is intended to be used in conjunction with the toilet partition layout drawings or
standard SH700 shower details prepared by Metpar. Refer to the drawings/details for further information
such as; shower sizes, shower positions, pipe chase covers (if applicable) etc.
•
When the material is shipped to you, an Initial Release (packing list) is included. Be certain that all items
you need have been ordered and shipped properly.
•
Normally the shower terrazzo base will be installed by a professional plumber. It is this person who will be
responsible for setting the base(s) properly. Otherwise, there is no adjustment in the SH700 shower
cabinets. The plumb and level condition of the cabinet is solely dependent upon the properly level
installation of its base.
•
A note for the plumber…
•
When planning the pipes, plumbing fixtures and waste lines, review the Metpar layout drawings carefully to
determine the position and location of the shower cabinets. Verify where the shower heads will be installed.
Also verify the location for the waste lines. Some shower bases have a center drain while others have one
that is offset.
•
Plan ahead… the customer has an option to install the handicap shower cabinet on top of the finished
floor, or to have it recessed down into the floor by 2¼” so that the shower entrance is now flush with the
finished floor. If the base is set on top of the floor, then it is suggested to have a “ramp” installed to meet
the entrance of the shower base for easier handicap accessibility.
