Your American Standard shower base is designed

to last indefinitely with reasonable care and

maintenance.

The high-gloss acrylic surface is resistant to impact

and retains its luster with proper care and

maintenance. An integral, slip-resistant surface is

incorporated for user safety.

General Cleaning: Do not use abrasive cleaners; a

mixture of warm water and a mild liquid detergent is

adequate for most cleaning. Strong detergents

formulated for use on tile or porcelain-enamel

surfaces should be avoided.

Caution: Do not allow liquid detergent containers to

remain on base surfaces for more than a few

moments. Do not use Lestoil, Windex, Mr. Clean, Dow

Disinfectant (spray or concentrate), or Lysol Basin, Tub

and Tile Cleaner. Do not allow nail polish remover, dry

cleaning fluid, acetone, paint remover, or other

solvents to contact acrylic surface.

Before installing drain into

the shower base, remove

strainer (see Fig. C). This

will be installed after

shower base is in its final

position. Install the drain to

the shower base as shown

in Fig. D. Use silicone

sealant between drain

body and shower base.

Note: Allow the bedding material to completely

harden before applying weight to the bottom of

the shower base.

Draw a line 6-5/8" (159mm) from the sub-floor

on to the studs at each side of the opening.

Using this line and a level, mark the remaining

studs. (See Figs. A & B.) This will be the

installed height of the shower base. Mix the

low-shrink bedding material (grout, mortar,

plaster, etc.). Concrete is not

recommended. Apply enough bedding

material to support the entire bottom of the

shower base. The bedding material must

not be used under the apron (front edge).

Insure the floor and stud walls are square and plumb. Provide a 5" x 5" (127mm x

127mm) opening in the floor for the drain (see Figs. A & B). The drain plug

accom-modates a 2" (51mm) PVC waste pipe. The waste pipe should extend above

the surface of the sub-floor, refer to chart on page 2 for the required dimensions.

See product drawings on this page for the specified drain locations.

Tape over the strainer to protect the finish

and prevent construction debris from

entering the drain.

Finish installation as shown in Figure H.

After the bedding material has been poured and

before it sets, lower the shower base into position

with the drain assembly sliding over the waste pipe

as shown in Fig. E. It will be necessary to "rock" the

shower base until the top of the tile flange aligns

with the lines drawn in Step 3 on the stud walls.

Make certain the apron is contacting the rough floor

along the entire length of the shower base. Insure

that the base is level in two directions (see Fig. F).

Snap strainer back into place and check for proper

drainage.

Note: Variations in

levelness of the subfloor

may require adjustment

of waste pipe height.

* For 6032.STRH and

6032.STLH, see drawing

for proper location of

5" x 5" drain cut-out.
