HYDROBLOK makes it easy 😊 My favorite part about this shower drain is the fact you can adjust it to work with your tile work 👍 Much easier than a fixed drain that has no movement Here are the key tips for install: 1. Use a high quality non-sag thinset and mix to a loose consistency for good tile bonding 👉I'm using Sika 500LHT, my favorite is Ardex X5 2. Keep wings on the HYDROBLOK shower grate if your tile is 3/16" thick or thinner. Remove wings for thicker tile 3. Bond wings & grate to drain
