Insure the floor and stud walls are square and plumb. Provide a 5" x 5" (127mm x 127mm) opening in the floor for the drain (see Figs. A & B). The drain plug accommodates a 2" (51mm) PVC waste pipe. The waste pipe should extend above the surface of the subfloor 3/8" ± 1/16". Note: Variations in levelness of subfloor may require adjustment of waste pipe height. See product drawings on this page for the specified drain locations.

Concrete is not recommended. Apply enough bedding material to support the entire bottom of the shower base. The bedding material must not be

used under the apron (front edge).

Shower Base

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Your American Standard shower base is designed to last indefinitely with reasonable care and maintenance.

The high-gloss acrylic surface is resistant to impact and retains its luster with proper care and maintenance. An integral, slip-resistant surface is incorporated for user safety.

General Cleaning: Do not use abrasive cleaners; a mixture of warm water and a mild liquid detergent is adequate for most cleaning. Strong

detergents formulated for use on tile or porcelain-enamel surfaces should be avoided.

Caution: Do not allow liquid detergent containers to remain on base

surfaces for more than a few moments. Do not use Lestoil, Windex, Mr. Clean, Dow Disinfectant (spray or concentrate), or Lysol Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner. Do not allow nail polish remover, dry cleaning fluid, acetone, paint remover, or other solvents to contact acrylic surface.
