6. Install the Receptor
Move the receptor into position. Verify proper fit.
Fit the drain into the trap. Do not connect the trap at this time.
Be sure the bottom of the receptor is firmly supported by the floor.
The basin area requires no additional support when the subfloor is plumb and level with respect to
the stud framing. If the subfloor is not level, shimming may be required to level the receptor.
Check that the receptor is level. The receptor must be level to ensure proper installation.
For alcove installations: Leave a small air gap between the receptor rim and the 2x4. Seal the gap
with silicone sealant. See illustration.
Complete the drain installation according to the instructions packed with the drain.
Install the final stud wall.
If not already installed, install the supplies and shower valving at this time. See "Install the
Plumbing" section.
Open the water supplies and check all the connections for leaks.
Run water into the receptor and check the drain connections for leaks.
