2. Install all of the required plumbing and drainage before installing the shower base. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.
3. Shower bases must be installed by a licensed plumber. Please note that you should
consult your local building codes with questions on installation compliance standards.
Building and plumbing codes may vary by location and DreamLine® is not responsible for
code compliance standards for your project.
4. Make sure that prior to the installation the installation surface is leveled and solid and will be
able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles. While
some adjustment in leveling of the tray is possible, irregular installation surface level or
improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please note
that some adjustments may be necessary during the installation process.
5. Center drain configurations are centered on the width only. See technical drawing tables
for drain locations.
6. Drain not included with this product. The drain opening is 3-3/8” in diameter and accepts a
standard 2” compression fitted drain.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Dimensions provided are for reference only. Measure the actual shower tray
before installation. This includes overall dimensions and drain location.
Allowed tolerance for center of the drain is +/-1/2".
1. Ensure that the floor and the studs
are at right angles.
Provide a 5”×5” opening in the subfloor for the drain.
The 2” PVC waste pipe should
extend above the surface of the

installation instructions and the
height of the Shower base.
Refer to the product drawings and
tables in this installation manual for
the drain location.

that the base is level in all directions.
You may need to use shims to hold the

Install the cement board (or the wallboard) above the tile flanges and secure it to the studs.
Put the tiles (or other finishing wall material) over the cement board leaving 1/8” gap between
the bottom of the tile or wall kit and the shower base. Use caulk to fill the gap.
