PSC GEN II Mud Kit Installation

• Includes all the components required to build an fully-bonded water-tight assembly for tiled showers
• Extremely reliable yet easy to construct
• Can be easily modified to accommodate smaller or larger installations
• Can be easily modified for non-standard drain locations
• Single layer sloped mud bed using quick pitch sticks allows full customization while reducing weight and installation time. No need for the second pre-pitch or pre-slope concrete floor
• Kit improved to include the strongest and most reliable drain flange for membrane systems on the market
• Drain flange allows the flexibility of multiple adjustment to riser assembly at end of install
• Riser-Grate assembly includes a construction plug and features locking grout and mortar grooves to ensure the strongest and most reliable final installation
• Riser threads into super-strong locking ring to provide ultimate strength and security while still allowing adjust-ability
• Numerous grate color and style choices available that offer easy removal/reinsertion so that integrated hair trap can be frequently and quickly serviced with no small screws to lose
• Protects floor, corners, edges, curbs and wall cavities against water and vapor penetrations. In steam applications, all surfaces can be protected
• Protects all surfaces, particularly in joints and corners, from grout cracking or tile instability
• Installation can use recommended high-quality modified thin-set mortar readily available from multiple manufacturers for better adhesion and elimination of failure possibilities.
• Install glass tiles and other high-density materials with this system where other unmodified thin-set systems don't allow these materials.
• Membrane tested at 0.07 PERM rating - much lower than required for steam showers! Other systems require specialized high-cost membrane for steam
• Installation methods very similar but easier than competing kits - little to no retraining required for contractors
• If installer accidentally damages membrane, problem can be easily identified and repaired before flood testing or tile installation
• Materials are backed by an industry standard 10-year warranty. Grates have a lifetime warranty

Note: You will need to obtain dry-pack mortar mix from your local hardware supply. 4 or 5 parts sand - 1 part portland cement is generally recommended.

Why PSC Pro Mud Kit?

Rather than utilizing a pre-formed pan, these kits have been created to allow you to easily design and build your own custom pan with a single sloped layer of dry-pack mortar and dictate a customized drain location of your choice. These kits are particularly useful if your shower floor area is not a standard size, drain layout, or will include a complex shape. The kits are far less complicated than traditional sloped mud - rubber liner - sloped mud method that required advanced skills and additional installation time. Pro Advanced Mud kits make it easy for you to create a custom-sloped pan using the dry-pack mortar method with less concrete, less time and complete accuracy.

PSC Pro kit waterproofing doesn't just end at the pan like a rubber liner! This system seamlessly waterproofs from the floor area to the walls and curb barrier as well! Unlike rubber-liner installs where grout typically cracks in the joints and corners, the WP waterproofing membrane in this PSC Pro kit provides anti-crack protection. The installer can use modern high-performance grout throughout the entire tile installation without fear of grout cracking issues. The included Quick-pitch sticks help you ensure a quick and easy construction of a correctly sloped dry-packed mud pan.

Compared to older mortar-pan methods that required the tedious labor involved with two sloped floors and a buried vinyl/rubber liner, our modern PSC Pro Mud Kit creates a much faster, easier and fool-proof installation that utilizes superior "surface" membrane protection and next-generation drain systems. Continuous membrane protection from the drain throughout the pan area and continuously up the walls prevents not only damaging leaks but also moisture penetration into the walls. No moisture in the walls means no lingering moisture that can cause structural damage over time or fuel mold and mildew problems in the wall tile. Very high-moisture shower enclosures or steam showers can be installed with membrane

Unlike rubber liners that have to install under the wall board and cause the wall board to "bow" out, our WP surface membrane protects from the top. This allows you to build all of your substrates ahead of time, get them square, flat, level and plumb before you start the waterproofing process. The waterproofing membrane easily bridges and controls expansion gaps you will need between each wall board section.

The latest update now includes the PSC Pro GEN II drain flange. This flange features factory heat-bonded fleece to allow bonding of WP waterproofing membrane directly to flange without the need for an adapter. This flange has been specifically designed to allow for the easiest mud floor install ever! It's as simple as 1,2,3. Seat the flange to the sub-floor and glue into 2" plumbing, lay the quick-pitch sticks around the flange and pack the floor, and finish by applying waterproofing to all substrates.
