Shower Bases

Thank you

Note: Be sure the opening in the sub-floor or slab is a minimum of 5” (12” for Barrier Free bases) and the waste stub pipe is central with the opening and extends at least 1” above the floor (See figure 1). Bases with a 48” or greater dimension may require a larger opening in order for the base to sit properly on the sub-floor or slab.
