3. Pre-Attach Drain
WARNING: Do not discard cardboard ring.
· Remove shower base from dry fit.
· Thread silicone or plumbers putty under drain lip, so when inserted excess sealant will squeeze
out from between drain and shower base floor creating an air tight seal.
· Flip shower pan upside down: Add rubber ring then cardboard ring and lastly screw on the plastic ring.
· While holding the bottom of the shower drain in place with split-joint pliers, use shower wrench to
tighten the plastic ring until drain sits flush with the shower base floor.
· Use rubbing alcohol and a towel to remove all excess silicone/plumbers putty from around drain lip.

· Re-insert shower pan into shower cavity leaving 1/8” (use shims) between wood studs and shower
base on all sides.
