The shower pan’s set-up area is ready. Now, you need to dry-fit it within the selected space. You might wonder what a dry-fit is? Usually, dry-fit means setting up a pan without any fasteners and adhesives. Do not use any adhesives at this stage; you will lose the freedom of adjustments or re-adjustments.
Check out if the water outlet matches perfectly with the shower pan’s drainage outlet. If you find any mismatch, readjust the settings. You should not force hard to match up these drain lines, and it may damage the shower base and drain channel, half inches you can consider as a tolerance limit. It is the most critical step for installing a shower pan, and you need to take time to do it.
Drain functions and components vary from one manufacturer to another. In that case, properly follow the sketch provided by the manufacturer to place the pan. Now, we are at the end of the pre-installation step, now let’s move to the installation stage.
