9. Once the shower pan is put into place and
fit is confirmed, draw a pencil line on the sub floor
indicating the front point of the threshold of the pan.
(See Figure 8).
The back corners of the shower pan should be in
contact with the framing, as seen in Figure 7.
Shim these areas if required.
Place a piece of cardboard in the floor of the shower to
protect the floor during the additional steps of installation.
There is a cut out for this on the pan box.

After the pan is set, fill any gaps between the mounting
flange and the framing with wood shims or furring strips to

8. The next step is to dry fit the shower pan to the studs
and confirm the drain location.
The better fit of the pan, the better all wall parts will
assemble as intended with minimal gaps at the seams.
Note in Figure 5 the two installers have placed the shower
pan on the floor, and are pushing it into the installed
position. One of the installers is using a short piece of 2 x
4 wood to hold the front of the shower pan off the floor.
This will assist in moving the pan into the installed position
while preventing chipping the front edge if it were to slide
along the sub floor.
