PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
5. 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).
4. Plan for the location of the shower water control valve. Note if planning to install the control valve in the
back wall of the shower with a two piece back wall, consider the location of the seam in the wall.
The control valve must be located at a height where the seam and mounting flange do not cause a
conflict with placement of the control valve, or water supply lines. These considerations are not necessary
if installing on the one piece back wall, or side wall.
Plan for routing the water supply lines to the control valve installation location.
The 2 wall Framing Diagram is for the 6060 3P two wall shower only.
BRIEF OVERVIEW. The actual installation will begin on the next page.

Review the Framing Diagrams in Figure 1. Modify existing framing if required. For new construction, build
framing structure in accordance with product dimensions and notes shown in the Framing Diagrams. 1.
Following the shower pan installation, place the back wall sections, then the side walls. The parts are
indexed to one another by a slot and pin connection system. The parts are pushed tight together before
connection to the framing pocket is made.
To have a successful installation, two persons are required. 3.
The shower base will be installed, leveled, and fastened to the framing before the walls are installed.
It is essential the framing pocket be square and plumb for the unit 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.
Floor leveling compound can be purchased at Lowes or The Home Depot. 2.
Note: Unit will not install properly if framing pocket is not square and of proper size.
The dimensions shown in the FRAMING DIAGRAMS are 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 parts are level and plumb. If any gaps are
present between the shower and framing, use furring strips to fill the gaps. If the walls and floor
are not level, there may be an excessive gap at the seams. The unit is designed to allow an 1/8”
gap at the seams.
7. Locate accessories if any were ordered. They will be packaged in the pan box. Remove those and store
them in a safe location for easy retrieval.
8. Identify each package and its contents. The label on the box is clearly marked indicating a shower pan
and wall panels.
Check the outside of the package for visible shipping damage. If damage is noted, contact your supplier
before proceeding with the installation.
