    Hey Jackman:

    Are you asking about the required SLOPE/PITCH for a shower floor pan?

    If so, it really depends on the installer... some go about 1/8" slope per foot of pan, others go as much as 1/2" slope per foot of pan (I hate this slope as it makes me feels as if I am falling into the drain).

    I use between 1/8" to 1/4" slope per foot of pan. Are you looking to build a shower pan.. If so, click on link below, may help some.

    Hopefully that is what you were looking for... let me know... Mark
