            Q:Is this intended to be used on top of pvc pan liner

            Answer This Question

            A:  I’m not really sure we used this to get the perfect pitch for drainage because we were making the pan using the cement mix, it’s not easy but worth the time! If you have a pan I would think it was prefabbed to have the correct pitch, I had a prefabbed pan break so I wanted to stay clear of that.

            by|Jun 3, 2020

              A:  Yes that is what it is designed to do to get the pitch correct

                A:  Yes

                by|Jan 31, 2021

                  A:  No it goes below the pan liner set in mortar

                    A:  When using a vinyl or roll-on liner a Pre-Pitch is needed. Pre Pitch does the mud bed under the liner to direct the moisture which collects in the liner to the weep holes around the drain and is code required. The reason it is code is it will draw the moisture by gravity away from the walls to avoid wicking up the walls and causing mildew and mold problems. Quick Pitch does the mud bed inside the liner which you install your tile on. Won't Pre-Pitch and Quick Pitch together double the pitch to ½ inch? No. The Quick Pitch Center Ring rests on top of the flange bolts of the drain which raises the system up to allow for water to flow to the weep holes and compensate for the Pre-Pitch eliminating the doubling of the pitch. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

                      A:  No. This is to get proper pitch on the floor before putting down a liner

                            A:  Don’t remember the exact size, but I did a 5’ by 30” and needed the extensions for the long sides. They sell them separately. Super easy install with these though. Takes out all the guesswork.

                              A:  I did not use this for a shower floor pan, I used this to provide a proper and uniform pitch on shower curb, bench seat and niches. It worked wonderfully, all water rolls off the "flat" surfaces and into the shower pan promoting quick drying times. Highly recommended if building your own design.

                                A:  I used Pre-Pitch to do my 6’ x 4’ shower pan. It’s great! I’d use it again if I had another project.

                                  A:  The Float sticks are 3 ft. long and that kit will do a 3x5 shower compartment with a centered drain.

                                    I used the pre-pitch, quick pitch, weep hole protector and curb kit. These were essential for me as a DIYer to get a professional end result. I'd highly recommend the entire system to anyone looking for a perfect shower pan and curb system installation that meets code. Making a shower pan is still very hard work but this system eliminates much of the stress associated with a DIYer's lack of experience - especially if you watch the Goof Proof Youtube videos. Also on the Goof Proof website there is a support phone number if you have any questions. In my case I did and they answered right away and were very helpful. Great product and people that will support your installation.

                                      Beware!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!
                                      My husband installed these in our Master Bathroom shower. 2 months after tile install we started to notice a pattern in the floor. Tiles began cracking and water was getting under our marble mosaic. The pattern was exactly were we had installed the pre pitch plastic strips. The tiles were cracking in those areas. Come to find out, the plastic pre pitch can not hold the weight of the mortar and marble tile. We now have to bust up the entire shower floor, remove the plastic pre pitch and start from scratch. A very expensive and stressful lesson!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!

                                        Worked perfectly! We used liquid nails to hold them in place however since we did not feel that the double-sided tape provided would hold them in place when we applied the mortar.

                                        Works good. Follow directions. Do not cut off small end. Make sure shower drain is flat on floor. Make hole in floor large enough for screw bases to be below floor and not on top of floor.

                                        Not enough material to complete the smallest job
                                        Based on my experience, even to do the smallest job, you need to order two of everything they offer. To complete a rectangular shower properly, 8 plastic sections are needed (4 to the sides and 4 to the corners). They only provide 6. I recommend planning your job before you purchase.
