Expert Guidance for Your Shower Base Installation

At John Kramer's Fabrications, Inc, we understand the critical importance of a properly installed shower base. Our comprehensive installation instructions are designed to ensure your new shower base is set up correctly, preserving its quality and longevity:


  1. Inspect for Damage: Before uncrating, check the base for any damage that may have occurred during transit. John Kramer's Fabrications is not responsible for any damage after delivery.
  2. Handle With Care: Once uncrated, keep the base flat and treat it like glass. Do not set it on any sides.
  3. Prepare the Floor: Ensure the floor where the base is to be installed is flat and level.
  4. Drain Clearance: Make sure there is enough clearance around the drain so the strainer nut is below the subfloor.
  5. Struts Contact: Ensure all struts under the base are in contact with the floor to maintain the warranty.
  6. Install Against Studs: Install the base against studs without using mechanical fasteners.
  7. Allow Clearance: Never force the base between studs. A 1/8" clearance is recommended.
  8. Wall Material Installation: Install wall material (plywood, moisture-resistant drywall, cement board) at least 1/2" from the top of the water table on the base.


You are now ready for the finished wall installation.
