piece count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this introduction
carefully. Check that all of the parts are included in the package by checking off the
components on the parts list. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has
missing parts, please contact our customer support department within 3 business days of the

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
sub-floor according to the drain
installation instructions and the
height of the Shower base.
Refer to the product drawings and
tables in this installation manual for
the drain location.
4. Level the tray and place marks on the
studs above the upper edge of the tile
flange.
(Fig 4)
5. Mix the bedding material (Mortar,
cement-sand mix, etc.) Concrete or plaster is not recommended.
Apply enough bedding material
to support the entire bottom of
the shower base. This will add
additional stability and prevent the
base from shifting position.
6. After the bedding material has been
poured and
shower base into the position with the
drain assembly sliding over the PVC
waste pipe. It will be necessary to push
the shower base until the top of the tile
flange aligns with the marks drawn on
the studs and the front edge is
contacting the rough floor along the
entire length of the shower base. Ensure
that the base is level in all directions.
You may need to use shims to hold the
tray level until the bedding fully sets.
Remove all excess mortar.
(Fig 6)
before
it sets, place the
7. Allow the bedding material to completely harden before applying weight to the bottom of the
shower base.
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.
BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic base and/or back walls:
wipe them off after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic base or back walls use
non-abrasive sprays or cream-based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners.
Never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.
GLASS: To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use
with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent
soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to
dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that
contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the
surface.
HARDWARE: To ensure a long-lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If
accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish
(peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with
a soft cloth.
Clean stainless-steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or
polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive
sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect the glass
and other hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or damage. Contact
DreamLine with any questions or concerns.

Acrylic cleaning procedure:
Acrylic should be cleaned with warm water and a clean, non-abrasive cloth. If desired, a
mild, non-abrasive detergent may also be used. Use only light pressure when cleaning.
Avoid rubbing dirt or grit into the surface. Turn the cloth often and replace with a clean
cloth frequently. Dry by blotting gently with a clean, dry cloth.
DO NOT USE:
Window cleaning sprays, alcohol, kitchen abrasive compounds, or solvents (such as acetone,
gasoline, or thinners). Do not use ammonia based cleaning solutions on the acrylic as it will
damage the surface.
How do you get scratches out of Acrylic?
For light scratches, use a buffing compound such as a car wax. Use a buffer or lightly polish
the surface by hand until scratches disappear.

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long-lasting life for your acrylic back walls, wipe them off
after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or cream
based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers, metal
brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.
GLASS: To ensure long-lasting life for your glass shower products, wipe them off after each use
with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent
soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to
dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that
contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the
surface.
HARDWARE: To ensure a long-lasting finish, wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If
accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish (peeling
or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or
polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an abrasive
sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the surfaces.
NOTE: To maximize the life of your door, it is important to regularly inspect
the glass and all hardware for misalignment, proper attachment, and/or
damage. Contact DreamLine
