SITE PREPARATION

Walls:

Install 1/2-in (or 5/8-in) GoBoard to wall studs using GoBoard Fasteners spaced every 8-in or GoBoard Washers spaced every 12-in while leaving 1/8-in gaps between the subfloor and bottom edge of GoBoard and all board joints. Fill all gaps with GoBoard Sealant or GoBoard Pro Sealant and spread excess sealant with a putty knife at least 1-in from either side of the joint. For the joint near the subfloor, spread the sealant roughly 2-in up from the subfloor. For more detailed instructions, please visit the GoBoard Tile Backer product page.

Wood Subfloor:

Make sure the floor is level. A level floor is required for proper installation. Measure and find the center of the shower pan area (or as close to the center as the framing will allow). Using these measurements, mark the center of what will be the drain hole. For possible layouts visit the GoBoard Wedge product page.

Cut a 5-in diameter hole with a jig-saw, hole saw, or other means. For remodels, ensure the existing drain location fits within the layouts and dimensions found on the GoBoard Wedge product page. The top of the waste pipe MUST be at least 1 5/8-in below the top of the subfloor. For remodels, cut the existing waste pipe as needed using an inside pipe cutting tool.

Concrete Slab Subfloor:

Ensure the cement (concrete) slab in the shower pan area is level. Use SLU as needed, in order to level the shower pan area.

Begin by breaking the concrete around the waste pipe to produce a hole that is roughly 5 1/2-in to 6 1/2-in in diameter, around the waste pip. The hole should be centered with the waste pipe. Use a tape measure to ensure the hole size is within this range, measuring in several locations.

Using a speed square and tape measure, continue to dig out the depth of the hole around the pipe. The recommended depth is 3-in while the recommended diameter is 5 1/2-in to 6 1/2-in.

Continue breaking the concrete around the pipe and remove debris as needed with a shop vac. The hole is complete when 3-in depth is achieved at the required hole diameter range.

Using a speed square and permanent marker, mark the exact slab height onto the pipe. Using a hack saw or other means, cut the PVC waste pipe above the subfloor elevation mark you made with the permanent marker. To prevent debris from entering the waste pipe, stuff a cloth inside and below the cutting area. Once the cut is complete, vacuum out the debris and remove the cloth.

Using an inside hole saw and tape measure, carefully mark waste pipe exactly 1 5/8-in below the slab elevation. Cut through the pipe slowly to produce a level cut around the perimeter. Using a file, debur the pipe and clean out all of the remaining debris around and inside the waste pipe.
