STEP 6
Place cement board or equivalent on top of shower base flange and over side wall post flat then secure to studwall.
Apply tile (or other finishing material) leaving a 1/8" gap between the finishing material and the shower base flange
lip. Leave a 1/8" gap between the finishing material and the side wall post flange. Seal the gaps with silicone sealant.
Leave a minimum 1/4" gap at the back and front corners of the shower base to allow drainage from leakage through
unsealed tiled grout. See Shim Instructions on page 6.
STEP 7
Filling the area marked DO NOT FILL will prevent moisture from properly draining back into the base through weep
holes. This moisture is due to leakage through the tile grout. Sealing the tile grout will reduce or prevent this leakage.
