It is recommended to use a 5:1 ratio of sand and cement, ensuring
adequate mortar distribution under the tray with a minimum 10mm
thickness.
Alternatively, if this is not practical, a suitable construction adhesive
may be used but this MUST be suitable for the substrate being
adhered to (check construction adhesive label for suitability prior

11.We recommend this tray is fitted as part of a fully enclosed cubical.
If this tray is fitted as a walk-in installation, it is expected that an
û
amount of water will spill onto the open area of the floor. We
would therefore advise fixing a threshold strip to minimize this.
ü
Note! Where the shower tray comes into contact with the wall
or plaster board surface, apply a liberal amount of silicone
sealant before installation. This will help secure the shower tray
in position and reduce any rubbing of the surfaces.
12.Hand tighten the waste to ensure a correct seal. Excessive
overtightening can lead to damage. Caution! DO NOT stand
on waste outlet as damage may occur.
13.Once the waste pipe has been connected pour water into the
tray to check the tray and pipe connection for correct drainage
prior to final fix and tiling.
14.Excessive flow rates may lead to overflowing and leaking.
Flow rate into the tray must not exceed more than 25 litres per
minute. We recommend a drainage test is carried out to ensure
the waste is adequate for the flow delivered.
15.All legs supplied must be fitted. Make sure that all locking nuts
are secured.
16.If you wish to raise the shower tray and not use the legs
provided, please contact us for installation advice.
17.The shower tray should be positioned so that the waste is easily
accessible for maintenance.
18.Water Spray may extend beyond the entrance of walk-in
enclosures and we recommend tiling of the adjacent area.
