6. In the installation location, the drain opening in the floor should have a 6” core for the drain pipe, and a
10” x 10” x 1/2” deep recess in the sub floor. (The drain core must be blocked when filled with Thin-Set).
The 10” x 10” x 1/2” deep recess is required to to assure proper drainage.
(See “Detail Of Drain Core Area” on Page 3, FRAMING DIAGRAMS).
5. Plan for the location of the shower water control valve. Plan for routing the water supply lines to the
control valve installation location.
4. If bolt on accessories such as grab bars or a seat may be installed, plan to provide solid mounting
supports for these items. Wood secured between the framing studs will be required to provide a
mounting surface to install grab bars and a seat.
Develop a plan for structure and finished wall materials to construct the shower wall enclosure before
beginning the installation of the shower pan.
The 2 wall Framing Diagram is for the 6060 double entry shower pan only.

The shower pan will be installed, leveled, and fastened to the framing. It is essential the framing pocket be
square and plumb for the shower pan to install properly. The floor also must have no voids or out of level
conditions. If these are present, they must be corrected before installation.

Note: Unit will not install properly if framing pocket is not square and of proper size.
The dimensions shown in the FRAMING DIAGRAM is 1/4” larger than the size of the shower.
This product is manufactured to tight specifications. The 1/4” over sizing is for maneuvering and
installation ease. If 1/4” over is not reasonable, sizing closer to the product actual dimensions is
allowable.
When trial fitting the shower, use a level to confirm the pan is level and plumb. If any gaps are
present between the shower and framing, use furring strips to fill the gaps. A quality installation of
the shower pan is necessary to assure fabrication of enclosure walls will result in a square and
plumb finished shower. (Note: wall enclosure is provided by others).

them in a safe location for easy retrieval.
Check the outside of the package for visible shipping damage. If damage is noted, contact your supplier
before proceeding with the installation.
