The next step is to dry fit the shower pan to check the
fit to the studs and to the drain location.
Note in Figure 5 the two installers have placed the shower
pan on the floor, and are pushing it into the installed

2 x 4 wood to hold the front of the shower pan off the floor.
This will assist in moving the pan into the installed position
while preventing chipping the front edge if it were to slide
along the sub floor.
