The Pasco Vinyl Shower Pan Liner is a waterproof barrier that prevents leaks and water damage. It is made of 100% Virgin Poly Vinyl Chloride Resin and treated with biocides to prevent mold and mildew. To install a seam in the Pasco Pan Liner, you will need to use Pasco Vinyl Shower Pan Cement. The installation process involves measuring the curb length and cutting the liner to size, stapling or nailing it to the curb, and then applying the cement to join the seams. The cemented seam should fully cure within 24 hours.

What You'll Learn
Measure and cut the liner to fit the curb
To measure and cut the liner to fit the curb, first, measure the inside and outside height of the curb, as well as the top width of the curb. Add these three numbers together to get the total curb width. Next, measure the curb length. Cut a piece of the liner to fit the total curb width by the curb length.
Now, cut two extra pieces of scrap liner to adhere at the top of the curb where it meets the wall framing. Each piece should be about 6 inches long and as wide as the curb, but you can measure your shower to be sure.
Finally, staple or nail the cut piece of pan liner over the curb's interior and exterior sides and the top. This piece will act as an extra water barrier.

Staple the liner to the curb
To staple the liner to the curb, you will need to cut the liner to the correct size first. Measure the curb length, then cut a piece of the liner to match that length. You will need enough liner to cover the top and both exposed sides of the curb. For showers with two curbs, you will need to measure and cut two pieces of liner separately.
Once you have cut the liner to size, staple it over the curb's interior and exterior sides and the top. This will create an extra water barrier. Make sure you staple the liner securely to the curb, as corner junctions can be weak spots.
After stapling the liner to the curb, you will need to adhere the excess liner for the mortar bed over the curb and staple the outside of the curb again. You can use adhesive to install dam corners at any intersection between the curb and the wall framing. Dam corners are made of PVC and provide reinforcement and extra waterproofing.

Prepare the mortar bed
Preparing the mortar bed is a crucial step in installing a seam in a Pasco pan liner. Here is a detailed, step-by-step guide:
First, ensure that the pre-sloped mortar bed is dry and free of any debris. It is important to work on a clean and dry surface. Use a measuring tape to measure the length of the curb, and then cut a piece of the liner to match this length. This piece will serve as an extra water barrier.
Next, staple or nail the cut piece of the liner over the curb. Secure it to both the interior and exterior sides, as well as the top of the curb. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper adhesion. It is recommended to let the adhesive cure overnight or as instructed.
Now, you will need to determine the application height. Measure 5 inches from the top of the curb and mark this point on the wall framing. Then, measure from this mark down to the mortar bed to find the application height. This measurement is crucial for the placement of the pan liner.
Before laying the pan liner, create folds on the wall-facing edges of the liner. These folds should be directed inward and match the application height. For example, if the application height is 10 inches, fold the edge inward by 10 inches. This ensures a neat fit when placing the liner over the mortar bed.
Finally, lay the Pasco pan liner over the mortar bed, ensuring that the fold points sit neatly in the seam where the wall and mortar meet. Center the liner and locate the drain plug. At this stage, you can proceed with the necessary cuts for the drain and bolt holes, as outlined in the previous steps for installing a seam in a Pasco pan liner.

Fold the liner and place over the mortar bed
Before placing the liner over the mortar bed, it is important to prepare the liner correctly. First, measure the length of the curb and cut the liner to size. Then, staple or nail the liner to the curb's interior and exterior sides and the top. Next, measure the pan bed or the space in which the shower pan will be installed. Measure 5 inches from the top of the curb and mark the wall framing. Measure from that mark to the mortar bed to find the application height.
Now, you are ready to fold the liner and place it over the mortar bed. First, flip the liner over and mark it upwards from the edge according to the application height on the three sides that will face the wall. Then, fold the sides of the liner at each mark. Place the liner over the mortar bed, ensuring that the fold points are placed in the seam where the wall and mortar meet. Make sure the drain base is covered and the liner is centred.
Once the liner is in place, you can continue with the installation process. Cut X shapes over the bolts that the clamping ring screws into and cut out a hole over the drain hole. Fold the liner halfway over to expose the drain base and apply silicone caulk around the surface of the inner flange. Then, fold the liner back and secure it in place.

Cut and bolt the liner
Before cutting and bolting the liner, it is important to measure the length of the curb and cut a piece of the liner to those measurements. You can then staple or nail this piece of liner over the top and exposed sides of the curb. For showers with two curbs, you will need two pieces.
Now, cut the liner vertically at the inside corner and adhere it horizontally over the top of the scrap liner. Staple the liner to the wall framing, staying near the top as much as possible. Before stapling, press the liner toward the seam where the mortar bed meets the wall frame.
To bolt the liner, locate the drain and use a utility knife to cut an “X” over the drain hole and small “X”s over each of the bolts for the clamping ring. To access the drain base, fold over one half of the pan liner while keeping the other half in place. Apply silicone caulk around the drain’s inner flange and put the folded-over portion of the pan liner back in its place. Press the bolts through each “X” and reattach the clamping ring over the bolts, tightening them until the ring has a snug fit against the liner.
