INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR REDI YOUR WAY® CUSTOM SHOWER PAN WITH PVC DRAIN
1. Frame out shower stall area to shower pan dimensions.
2. Sweep out any debris from sub floor.
3. Test fit shower pan drain housing into subfloor bore hole. DO NOT NAIL OR SCREW ANYTHING INTO THE PAN. DO
NOT SAND, CUT, OR MAKE ANY CHANGES/MODIFICATIONS TO THE SURFACE OF THE SHOWER PAN WHATSOEVER.
4. Make sure the shower pan is aligned properly and fits snuggly against the shower frame studs on all sides.
5. This step depends on whether there is access to the drain connection from below the subfloor.
a. If there is access from the subfloor below, then cut a section of PVC drain pipe which is long enough to extend
below the subfloor and easily make a connection to the waste water pipe. Brush PVC adhesive on the outside of
the cut drain pipe and quickly insert into drain connection, and then be sure the drain pipe extends far enough
below the subfloor so it can be conveniently connected to the waste water pipe following the installation.
b. If there is no access from the subfloor below, then make sure the drain pipe stubbed up from the subfloor is
adjusted to a height sufficient to fit properly into the shower pan drain connection (approximately 1
the substrate floor). Brush PVC adhesive on the drain pipe stubbed up from the subfloor, then quickly insert the
stubbed‐up drain pipe properly into the shower pan drain.
6. Using a ½" square notch trowel form a ½" thick Rapid Set or modified Thin‐set bed on the entire shower enclosure
substrate, making sure to apply the Rapid Set or modified Thin‐set all the way to the edge of the drain bore hole.
a. Please note: Do not place the Rapid Set or modified Thin‐set directly on a wood or Gyp‐Crete substrate. First,
waterproof the wood or Gyp‐Crete substrate with a fluid applied waterproofing membrane or NO. 15 or No.
30 roofing paper so the substrate does not absorb the water from the Thin‐set.
b. For larger pans place (2) wood furring strips in the mud, place the pan on the wood furring‐strips and slide the
pan into place at approximately a 45‐degree angle without the pan or the drain making contact with the Rapid
Set or modified Thin‐set.
7. Carefully remove the wood furring strips if used and lay the shower pan into place. Once in place, apply
pressure or wiggle the pan a little to make sure the Thin‐set spreads out evenly under the pan so the pan
makes proper contact with the Thin‐set. This process will ensure that the Rapid Set or modified Thin‐set will fill
in the footprint of the wood furring strips evenly. Using a level, make certain the shower pan is level on all sides
to ensure proper water drainage. If the pan is not level, put more pressure on the high side and wiggle a little
more. Important: DO NOT STEP INTO THE SHOWER PAN ONCE THE SHOWER PAN HAS BEEN SET AND LEVELED
UNTIL THE THIN‐SET HAS CURED COMPLETELY
8. Install the shower backer board and water proofing in accordance with the standards established by the Tile
Council of North America, Inc.
9. Seal and waterproof joint between backer board and the shower pan splash walls using Redi Flash® or 100%
silicone, and then cover the joint with a fluid applied waterproofing membrane on the shower walls over the
joint. Allow the Thin‐set bed to dry in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer. You are now ready
to tile to the shower enclosure. Only Rapid Set Thin‐set or any type of modified Thin‐set or Redi Poxy should
be used to lay tile on the pan.
10. Adjust the height of the drain as necessary to accommodate the floor covering.
