This seems like a really great method. As opposed to the newer sealed pan method, like kerdi over a single slope to a bonded flange. What you're doing is really a sealed single slope pan but the benefits of old-school water in water out weepability. What jobs are you doing these on? Commercial? Concrete subfloor? Would you or have you done this over a wooden subfloor?
Yes this was a commercial ALF assistance living facility which was over concrete, But Iv also done this over wooden subfloor on a residential home with the smaller drians works Great.
Good question, i was going to explain but video would of been too long as it already is,, well first I placed the flange and drian where it goes but not to have it set but just while I figure out the measurement of the template, then I measure a ¼inch per foot for slope so my longest area from drain to wall is let's say 2ft then it would require a ½" drop from that wall, so then i set my drain at that half in drop from my longest wall then I get the size from the top of drain to substrate and that should be your size. I hope that made sense. Dont forget to subscribe lol.. If it doesn't make sense lmk and ill make a video
It varies from job to job. I was taught that you put at least 1 1/4" of mud to support under your drain when using a three piece drain. It looks like the tile is going to be curbless, so your perimeter height is dependent on the existing tile level and the depth of your pan til.
Cut ½inch off the template should work would be a steeper drop but that's okay if that's what you mean. But the size of template height must have enough room so when flange and drian screws down the drian surface would need to be below the surface of mud or flush to it at the very least.
@@egformula no , its just that when you floated it looked like you finished 1/2 inch below template, so the finish float was below template but if the template was lower you could just float even with it
@@vapdivrr5656 i got you now lol yes if this were just a single shower I would have made the template exact for it but this job was a new assistance living facility and we had over 400 restroom & most would fit this exact template some i would need to go a little lower as I did here.. but Great Catch 👍 Ty!
@@egformula thats exactly what I thought. Its like when I do a dry pack with a round adjustable drain I pack to the top of drain , then I screw it up the tile thickness. But yes I understand you have different showers with different pitches so this one works for all. Im just trying to think of something easy in which every time I can make one for that shower because I like packing to the top...thanks for the video
24 hours may not be enough in some situations. You need to make sure all the moisture is out before you put the redguard on or the moisture will be be trapped.
Yeah they are sloped, this particular showers are at an assistant living facility so we try to keep the slope at its minimum, slope are between ⅛ to ¼ inch per foot.
