Arc TrueDEK Linear Shower Bases

Arc TrueDEK Linear Shower Bases

TrueDEK Linear shower bases feature a fully integrated drain gulley molded directly into a structural, pre-pitched base. The drain gulley offers three drain connector locations to ease installation — choose the drain location that’s best for your job site, or choose to install multiple drains to handle high volume water flow.

Features

• As a structural shower foundation, a TrueDEK Linear base may be installed directly on joists to make a curbless shower that’s flush with the rest of the bathroom floor
• Structural shower foundation with a lifetime warranty
• Pre-pitched and ready for tile or stone
• 7/8" thick at edges
• The shower bases are so thin and strong, expensive joist modifications are unnecessary
• Install on 2x wood joists, truss joists, and TJI joists
• Flat rim for easier leveling
• Supports 560 lbs. on joists and typical blocking; up to 1,100 lbs. with complete blocking underneath
• ICC certified
