the wall by the extra tile thickness.The
same applies to spacing between shower
tray support and bathtubs.

Front sides to be tiled must be reduced
with suitable tools (hot wire devices etc.)
It is possible that the production tole-
rances allowed by DIN will make adapta-

Install the fittings to match the shower
tray height. Connect the fittings to the
drainage piping.
A. Glue shower support
Cut out holes for piping, then apply foam to
all floor ribs in the shower tray support
before fixing in installation location.
