1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the
piece count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages, read this introduction
carefully. Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by checking off the
components on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. 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 delivery date. Please note that DreamLineTM will not
replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if
the product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLine® if you have any questions,
and please provide an order number, job name or other proof of purchase to help us identify
your original order.
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. Please insure 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.
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 these installation
instructions for the drain location.
See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for details.

See Fig. 5 for details.
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.
See Fig. 6 for details.

entire length of the shower base. Ensure
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 and the splash rim of the shower base. Use caulk to fill that gap.
See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 for details.

Product Maintenance
BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure a long 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. 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. To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners
and cleaning products that contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive
sponges.
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 finish peeling or corrosion.
After cleaning the shiny finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with soft cloth. Clean stainless
steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel cleaner or polish, work with
(not across) the grain. Never use abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brushes.
