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.
