Prepare the Receptor and Subfloor (cont.)
When the receptor is leveled, an optional mortar bed may be used to help secure the unit.
Install a Mortar Bed (Optional)
Remove the receptor from the alcove.
Remove the felt pad, if present.
NOTE: The receptor supports must rest directly on the subfloor.
Build a dam to keep the flooring material clear of the drain area.
NOTE: Do not use gypsum cement or drywall compound for this application, as they will not provide
adequate support. Use mortar.
NOTE: Do not spread mortar around the receptor feet.
Spread a 2" (5.1 cm) layer of mortar on the subfloor.
Remove the dam.
Move the receptor into position.
Verify that the receptor is level and resting on all supports.
Position a clean drop cloth or other similar material into the bottom and over the outside edge of
the receptor. Be careful not to scratch the surface of the receptor.
