Before You Begin
Observe all local plumbing and building codes.
Locate the rough plumbing for the drain in accordance with the roughing-in dimensions for your particular model.
A variety of installations are possible. These instructions show suggested installation procedures, your particular installation may require other construction techniques.
Please read these instructions carefully to familiarize yourself with the required tools, materials, and installation sequences. Follow the sections that pertain to your particular installation. This will help you to avoid costly mistakes.
Your shower receptor comes packaged in a single carton containing a one-piece shower receptor. This carton will ®t through any standard door. You should not remove the receptor from the package until you are ready to install it.
Unpack and inspect the shower receptor for damage. If you ®nd any damage, do not install the receptor. Report the speci®c problem to your dealer immediately.
After inspection, return the receptor to the carton until you are ready to install it.
You must install this shower receptor to an adequately supported, level sub¯oor.
Be sure that you have enough access to move the receptor into the construction area.
Make sure the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all ®nished wall material to expose the framing and remove all ¯oor coverings to expose the sub¯oor.
Provide properly dimensioned framing.
Alcove installation is recommended for this receptor. A drop-in installation is also an option for this receptor.
Corner or alcove installation is dependent upon the receptor model.

Before You Begin (cont.)
Exact location of the end studs will depend on the thickness of the ®nished wall material.
If installing this unit adjacent to vertical ducts or chases, surround the unit with ®re-rated water-resistant wall material.
When ®re-rated wall is speci®ed, stud-opening dimensions are toward the exposed side of the wall material.
Place the receptor within the installation area prior to completion of the framing.
The basin area requires no additional support when the sub¯oor is level and square with respect to the framing. Consider using shims for additional support if the sub¯oor is uneven.
Consult all applicable instructions for options and accessories before beginning this installation.
Fixture conforms to ANSI Standard Z124.2. All dimensions are nominal. All models meet IAPMO requirements with the exception of K-9531.
1. Prepare the Site
Ensure that the installation area is clean and free of all debris. If remodeling, remove all ®nished wall material to expose the framing and remove all ¯oor coverings to expose the sub¯oor.
Inspect the ¯ooring at the installation site. Repair as necessary.
Make sure the sub and ®nished ¯oors are ¯at and level.

IMPORTANT! All dimensions are nominal. The stud opening tolerance is plus 1/4² (6mm) and minus 0. Carefully measure your ®xture before determining enclosure size. When a ®re rated wall is speci®ed, dimensions are to the inside of the wall board. Some shimming between the stud frame and the ®xture may be required. Dimensions given in the roughing-in information are crucial for proper installation. Construct the framing and plumbing accurately.
NOTE: If a ®rewall is required, roughing-in dimensions will have to increase according to the thickness of the ®rewall material. Stud opening dimensions must be measured toward the exposed side of the wall material.
NOTE: If installing this unit to a masonry wall, make provisions for plumbing connections. Construct a separate frame wall a minimum of 6º (15.2cm) from the masonry wall.

5. Install the Vinyl Tiling-in Bead
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not apply the vinyl tiling-in bead or pressure-sensitive tape in temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C).
NOTE: The K-1182 vinyl tiling-in bead is used for the corner installations of the K-9852 and K-9861 shower receptors. There is enough vinyl tiling-in bead supplied for either receptor. Some cutting will be required.
The vinyl bead takes the place of the ¯ange on the side(s) of the receptor and is necessary to prevent water from seeping into the framing. The installation kit contains a 7' (2.1 m) vinyl bead and a 12' (3.7 m) strip of pressure-sensitive sealing tape.
Clean the receptor rim of all dust, grease and foreign matter.
Temporarily position the tiling-in bead on the receptor to measure. Do not use the sealing tape at this time. The bead should start 3/4º (1.9cm) back from the front corner and extend along the rim all the way to the integral tiling-in ¯ange at the rear of the receptor. Cut the length to ®t.
Cut the same length(s) of pressure-sensitive tape, also starting from the front edge of the rim.
Apply the vinyl tiling-in bead just before moving the receptor into position.
Remove the paper backing from the pressure-sensitive tape and carefully apply the tape to the corner radius of the receptor.
Start applying the vinyl bead 3/4º (1.9cm) back from the front corner. Press the bead ®rmly against the sealing tape for proper sealing.
Repeat procedure working toward the opposite end.
After the bead is in place, start at the area where the bead was ®rst applied and rub ®rmly with the heel of your hand to ensure a continuous seal.
6. Prepare the Receptor
CAUTION: Risk of product or property damage. If a watertight seal on the drain is not obtained, water damage to the receptor bottom and the sub¯oor may occur.
Install the drain to the shower receptor according to the drain manufacturer's instructions.
Clean the receptor to reduce the risk of surface damage.
Place a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom of the receptor. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the unit.

7. Position the Receptor
Move the receptor into position. Verify proper ®t.
Fit the drain into the trap. Do not connect the trap at this time.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. If shimming is required, shim between the sub¯oor or slab and the wood block feet on the underside of the receptor. All wood block feet must be supported when the
receptor is leveled and nailed to the framing.
Check that the receptor is level in both directions and resting on all feet. Shim if necessary.
Concrete, gypsum cement or other similar materials can be used to level the base.
