Preparation

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 DreamLine® will not

replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Please contact DreamLine® if you have any questions and

please provide an order number, job name or other proof of purchase to help identify the 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. 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".

Shower Base Installation - Preparation

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.

See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for details.

2. Install the shower drain (NOT

INCLUDED) according to the drain installation manual (supplied with the drain).

See Fig. 3 for example

Fig. 3

3. Place the tray into the designated

position so that the Drain cutout drops around the Drain Pipe and butt the Shower Base up against the studs.

See Fig. 4 for details.

Lower the base over the drain pipe and set it into place against the studs.

Fig. 4

SLIMLINE SHOWER BASE manual Ver 5 Rev 9 03/2018

16

4. Level the tray and place marks on the

studs above the upper edge of the tile flange.

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.

Fig. 6

Level base in two directions

Mortar

Fig. 5

SLIMLINE SHOWER BASE manual Ver 5 Rev 9 03/2018

17

6. After the bedding material has been

poured and

before

it sets, place the 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.

See Fig. 7 for details.

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. See Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 for details.

Product Maintenance

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.

Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious problems for your installation. Please, note that some adjustments and drilling may be necessary during the installation process.

5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down

directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior to and during installation.

6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

7. This model does NOT have any adjustment for out of plumb conditions. Verify that your

walls are plumb before proceeding with the installation.

8. This model requires that you drill into the threshold for proper installation.

9. This model requires a minimum 1-1/2” of flat threshold space for installation.

10. NOTE: This model is reversible for left or right hand swing installation. This manual will show the

left hand swing installation. For a right hand swing installation, simply begin on the opposite wall and reverse the orientation of the parts as necessary.

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 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.
