17. After the adhesive and thin-set materials are in place, rotate
the pan back into place for installation.
(Hint) In order to reach the pan without stepping on the adhesive,
place a short piece of wood over the drain area. Use this to step
on to remove the 2 x 4 that is holding the pan against the back
framing. (See Figure 15).

Before installing the walls, confirm the ledges
where the walls sit are level. Check with a long
level as shown in Figure 16. If there is an out of level
condition, remove screws and adjust as required.
Before the adhesive cures, confirm the floor slope to the
drain has been maintained. To do this, use a 2 foot level at
various points around the drain to the adjacent wall to check
for draft. Make sure there is a downward slope to the drain in
all directions around the drain. Visually inspect the floor to be
sure there are no humps or dips that could cause improper
drainage.
See Figure 17A and 17B.
Rotate the pan back to the horizontal position. As you lower the
pan to the sub floor, align the drain pipe with the drain fitting,
and with the pencil mark at the front of the threshold.
NOTE: The working life of the flooring adhesive is roughly
one hour. (Refer to the label on the adhesive for actual
working time). After step 16 is complete, the entire
installation process though step 23 must continue. If for
any reason the installation cannot be completed within the
working time of the adhesive, after step 16, jump ahead to
step 23.
When the pan is seated into the adhesive, place the cardboard
on the shower floor for protection. Thoroughly walk around in
the shower. This will assist in seating the pan into the adhesive.
Attach the pan to the studs by installing the flat top/pan
head screws through the holes drilled into the flange.
Snug the screws up tight so the screw heads will be clear
of the side wall panels for assembly. Use care not to
overtighten to the point that causes flange breakage.
