6. Carefully measure the framing pocket to assure it is of
proper size for the unit to be installed. Refer to
dimensional information in the FRAMING DIAGRAMS on
Page 3, Figure 1.
5. A special note: During handling and transport,
the product may be slightly bent. It is very important
that the threshold of the pan does not have any bow or
bend.This product is engineered with materials that allow
for the threshold to be pressed back to the normal and
straight form it is intended.
7. Check the framing pocket for square. Check to assure
the vertical studs are plumb. Check for square by
holding a measuring tape from the back left corner to the
right front corner, as shown in Figure 4. Repeat for the other
side. If both dimensions are the same, the framing is
square. Adjust if necessary.
These steps are necessary to assure a good installation of
the walls (provided by others) to be installed later.
When the shower pan is removed from the packaging, use
a straight edge to check the straightness of the threshold.
Place a straight edge on the under side of the threshold
across the front to check the straightness. (See Figure 2A)
In the event it is not straight to 1/16”, pressure can be
applied to the top side of the material. This can be
accomplished by placing blocks under the two extreme
corners of approximately, 3” high.
Always place a soft rag on the finished surface where it
contacts the wood blocks, and under your feet to avoid
damaging the finish.
Gently step on this area and allow your body weight (Up
to 250 pounds), to flex the material back straight.
Confirm straightness, repeat if necessary until
+/- 1/16” is accomplished. (See Figure 2B)
