ProLine

All ProLine linear shower drain bodies are made of 18 gauge 316L marine grade stainless steel with fully-sloped troughs.

ProLine linear shower drain bodies ship with a topical liquid waterproofing reinforcement fabric kit. Installer will provide a waterproof membrane meeting the standards of ANSI A118.10. ProLine linear shower drains can also be installed with other waterproofing options (available separate for purchase) including topical sheet, hot mop and CPE/PVC liner options if being used with a 2 piece clamp collar base in a mortar bed application.

The main differences between ProLine and ShowerLine linear shower drains are the materials that the drain bodies are made of. The ProLine linear shower drain body is made of 316L marine grade stainless steel. ShowerLine is made of PVC with an integrated clamping collar. ProLine is only compatible with topical liquid waterproofing when attached directly to the DWV. ShowerLine is compatible with topical sheet or topical liquid.

When installed, the top of the stainless steel flange must match the sloped surface to which the liquid applied waterproofing membrane is being applied. Liquid applied waterproofing is topical and must not be applied until the approved QuickDrain transition tape is adhered to the top of the stainless steel flange a minimum of 1/4” to a maximum of 3/8”, this transition tape is supplied in every ProLine linear drain shower kit. It is critical to quality that all linear drains must be installed level in a substrate that will be pitched to meet code requirements (2% slope). Lastly, the QuickDrain reinforcement fabric should be used on every transitional change of plane, joint, and seam throughout the shower footprint during liquid waterproofing application. Liquid waterproofing should be applied and allowed to cure per the liquid waterproofing manufacture’s specifications. If the application steps described are not followed in the installation and waterproofing of the ProLine linear drain, the drain will not perform as designed.

First, to determine which shower drain is needed, measure the opening from wallboard to wallboard. Second, when installing ShowerLine or ProLine, choose the drain that is just smaller than your overall opening. The provided trough extensions will take you wall to wall. When choosing WallDrain, you will choose the next size larger than your reopening. Cut the drain to fit wallboard to wallboard. For SquareDrain, a centerpoint drain, you will chose a pan size larger than your shower footprint and cut the pan to size.

The ProLine and ShowerLine linear shower drain covers are designed to be trimmed to fit the finished dimensions of a shower. The cover would be measured and instruction for method of cutting are listed below. Proper PPE is always recommended.
Angle Grinder: If using an angle grinder, do not allow cover to overheat. Keep the cover cool by wetting while making the cut with appropriate metal cut-off wheel. Ensure wheel is suitable for cutting stainless steel.
Bandsaw: When cutting with a bandsaw, apply painter’s tape to protect pvd/powder coat finish. Ensure blade is suitable for cutting stainless steel.
Hacksaw: When cutting with a hacksaw, apply painter’s tape to protect pvd/powder coat finish. Ensure blade is suitable for cutting stainless steel.
