Hello,
I'm installing a bathroom in my basement. It was originally roughed in for a toilet and sink, of course, we want a shower as well.
The shower will go close to where an existing floor drain was, so I dug up the floor and took out the old floor drain trap, y'd the line and put in a new floor trap away from the shower and a second trap for the shower. Now I have the 2" shower drain pipe sticking out of the floor and I'm ready to put the shower base in.
I got the shower (3 Piece Aqua glass) at my local Lowe's on clearance with no directions. Auqua glass doesn't have info on this particular model anymore online, but I get the gist of everything. A friend of mine says that I should put down a bunch of thinset mortar under the shower base and push it down to fill under the shower. Is this true? None of the Auqua glass install instructions mention this. If I just set the base on the floor, the back of the shower is much lower than the front, if I don't use thinset, how do I level this?
Thanks for the help.
John
