Ips sdc1 Pvc Shower Dam Outside Corner

Product Description

The IPS sdc1 is a factory-formed PVC outside corner piece designed for use in shower pan liner waterproofing systems. It reinforces one of the most failure-prone points in a shower installation — the outside corner junction — where movement and stress commonly cause liner failures and subfloor leaks. Manufactured from 40-mil PVC material, this shower dam corner integrates with PVC sheet pan liners to create a continuous, watertight barrier. Licensed plumbers and tile contractors install this component during the pan liner rough-in stage, before mortar bed or tile work begins. It is suited for both residential and commercial shower applications.

This outside corner cover is used wherever a shower pan liner must wrap an outside corner, such as in barrier-free or curbless shower designs, or in custom shower configurations where the liner must transition around a protruding wall corner. The factory-formed shape eliminates the need for field-fabricated corner folds, reducing the risk of liner puncture or improper overlap at the most vulnerable point of the waterproofing assembly. It is a standard component in code-compliant shower floor liner installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or tile contractor during the shower pan rough-in phase, prior to mortar bed placement or tile setting. Shut off water supply and ensure the subfloor is clean and dry before positioning the liner and corner piece. Solvent-weld or liner adhesive bonding methods should follow the liner manufacturer's instructions and applicable plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines for shower receptor liner installation. Do not puncture the liner or corner piece with fasteners in the waterproofed field area.
