NOTICE: Please inspect the unit thoroughly before installation to make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. Under
no circumstances should a damaged pan be installed. Neither Aquatic nor the distributor will be responsible for removal
or reinstallation costs should a replacement be necessary.
a. READ ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
b. Make sure that walls and floors meet fire safety requirements of local building code and/or FHA/HUD Minimum Property Standards.
c. All dimensions are nominal. The stud opening is +
1
⁄8" (3mm) - 0.
Pre Installation Requirements:
a. In remodeling, if necessary, add studs at each end to provide a vertical nailing surface for the side nailing flanges of bath fixture product.
b. To avoid obstruction during installation make sure that supply lines, spout pipe and valve plumbing do not project into alcove.
c. Shower pans require a 6” (150mm) diameter floor opening for 2” (50mm) IPS drain fitting connection. [See Chart 1 for location]
NOTE: Be sure floor opening location matches left-hand, right-hand or center bath fixture drain location.
d. Locate rough plumbing/valving according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not install trim at this time.
n Make sure framed-in alcove is of proper size per Aquatic dimensions, (See Chart 1. The stud opening is +
1
⁄8" (3mm) - 0), square, and plumb;
check floor for levelness.
n Place pan in alcove with the front skirt firmly on the floor. The pan must be set level. To check, use a 3’ (915mm) long (minimum) level on
top of the ledge on both ends of pan and on top of dam. [See Diagram 2]
n After leveling pan, mark each stud (or concrete or block wall) immediately above the back horizontal flange. Remove pan from alcove.
n Pre-drill and fasten flange above scribe line shown on pan. [See Diagram 2].
NOTE: Fasteners to wood framing - 1” (25mm) galvanized roofing nails or 1” (25mm) pan head screws; to steel studs - drill flanges and
studs with +
3
⁄16" (5mm) carbide bit and fasten with #10 x 1” (25mm) sheet metal screws with washers; to concrete/block walls use 1” (25mm)
concrete nails with nailing tool or impacter. NOTE: Pre drilling flanges is required to prevent cracking of unit.
n Apply sanitary drain assembly, per drain manufacturer’s recommendations to the pan.
n Additional bottom support: Casting plaster/plaster of paris (herein referred as foundation materials), is mandatory for shower pans. The
following applies for foundation materials:
In a bucket, mix foundation material. Place three or four mounds of plaster on the subfloor around but away from drain hole. The mounds
should be placed high enough so that when the pan is set, it will cause the plaster to displace and spread. [See Diagram 2]
n Place pan into alcove with front skirt firmly on floor and depress plaster mounds. Make certain that unit is level [See Diagram 2].
The pan must be set level.
a. Spot-fasten the four corners of the nailing flanges to studs above line on pan.
b. Nail fasten at each stud through the topside flanges; through back flange, at each stud (concrete; 16” (405mm) on center), working from
both ends toward back center. [See Diagram 2]
c. As an option, a large head nail may be driven into place above the tiling flange.
n Finished Wall Coverings:
a. For cultured marble walls - Bring water resistant wall board down to the top of the flange. Apply 100% silicone sealant with mildew
resistant properties between the gypsum board and nailing flange. Apply cultured marble over the gypsum board to the horizontal
surface of the unit, then seal the seams of the cultured marble. [See Diagram 3, Detail A]
b. For ceramic tile with cementitious backer board – Furring strips as thick as nailing flanges are recommended above the unit. Apply
concrete backer board to leave at least a gap of
1
⁄4" between the backer board and the horizontal surface of the pan. Apply 100% sili-
cone with mildew resistant properties between the backer board and the horizontal surface of the unit. Apply finished wall tiles, leaving
the valley detail on the pan clear of all materials to allow trapped water to escape. Finishing of other trades should be done in confor-
mance with applicable codes and generally accepted building practices. [See Diagram 3, Detail B]
c. For ceramic tile with traditional mortar bed – Apply the waterproof membrane overlapping the flange of the unit 1” min. Apply wire over
the flange to leave a gap of
1
⁄4" between the wire and the horizontal surface of the pan. Apply the mortar bed to the second step of the
pan, leaving the third step clear for tile. Apply 100% silicone with mildew resistant properties, leaving the valley detail on the pan clear
of all materials to allow trapped water to escape. Finishing of trades should be done in conformance with applicable codes and generally
accepted building practices. [See Diagram 3, Detail C]
n Door Enclosures: Use Aquatic shower door model for an engineered fit, or refer to other door manufacturer’s installation instructions.
NOTE: Where local codes specify minimum door openings, shower stalls may require swing (not sliding) doors.
n 3232CPAN does not carry the UPC seal and is not approved by some municipal plumbing codes due to inside dimensions. Check local
building codes.
