The Quick-Pitch System used with the Pre-Pitch System permits easy construction of traditional mortar bed shower floors with the proper minimum water drainage slope of 1/4" per 12" run.
With this time-saving system there is now no chance for an error in measurement, or the need for a level, to achieve a properly sloped shower floor. The Quick-Pitch Kit is used for standard 30" x 60" shower areas with a centered drain, or custom shower areas where the drain is within 36" of each wall. This system does not add to the pan liner pre-slope as the Center Ring sits on top of the drain flange bolts. Although manufacturer recommendations to keep sticks 30" apart you may want to add 2 or more extra float sticks to make the job easier. Always have one stick from drain to each corner and then slice the pieces in half like a pie.
The Quick-Pitch system is made to go above your liner to make a perfect pitch all the way around your drain and your tile is laid directly on top of this mortar bed. Be sure to use the same amount of Pre-Pitch Sticks below your liner on your sub floor.
For shower areas where the walls are more than 36" (but less than 72") from the floor drain you will need to order the Quick Pitch Extended Kit. Included in each package is 4 Extended Quick Pitch Float Sticks (1 3/4" to 2 1/2" x 36" long) and installation instructions. Please Note: The extended package does not come with any standard sticks, the extended sticks simply clip into the end of the standard sticks. Don't forget a Positive Weep Protector.
