    Hi Dan...

    Set the pipe so it is about 1/8 -1/4" higher than the rubber sleeve once it is all tightened down.

    Does the manufacturer of your shower require you to install the shower base in a bedding substrate? Let me know...

    PS: Tie a long string around the strainer wrench provided with the drain... lots of these drop into the drain while being used to tighten the inner nut (over the sleeve)
