Mustee 3248m-4832wl 32x48 Inch Shower Base Single Threshold

Product Description

The MUSTEE 3248m-4832wl is a one-piece, molded fiberglass shower base receptor engineered for alcove installations with a 32-inch by 48-inch footprint. Manufactured by E.L. Mustee and Sons, this single-threshold unit features a center drain connection sized at 2 inches, making it compatible with standard residential drain rough-ins. At 5.5 inches in height and weighing 45 pounds, the base is manageable for a two-person installation crew. It is suitable for both new construction and renovation projects where a pre-formed shower receptor is specified in lieu of a mortar-bed or tile pan assembly.

This shower base is intended for residential alcove shower installations where three walls enclose the unit. The single-threshold design accommodates standard step-over entry and is sized for a 32-inch by 48-inch alcove rough opening. The base is compatible with tile wall systems, preformed wall panels, and Mustee DURAWALL wall surround systems, giving installers flexibility in finishing the surround without modifying the receptor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or finish carpenter working to local plumbing code requirements, including IPC standards for shower receptor support and drain connection. Power down any relevant circuits in the work area before beginning rough-in work. The base must be set on a fully supported, level substrate to prevent flexing or cracking over time. Do not over-tighten the drain fitting against the fiberglass flange, as this can cause stress fractures in the receptor floor.
