How to Install the Delta Classic 500 Stand Up Shower - Full Install Base, Walls & faucet (Detailed)

[@Bbbbbbbbbbb-f1w]

With these snap in showers, the walls and floor have to be perfect!!! I still noticed a bigger than normal gap on yours at the bottom right corner!

[@HowToWithLech]

Yeah. Slight maybee. But doesn’t affect it. Still sealed

[@daveinvictoriavirginia7959]

Nice follow through, makes installing that type surround very easy.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks👊

[@garyalford-m8w]

What kind of pants are you wearing?? Great video, thank you!

[@jackyeferreira]

Thanks, can be installed over tile?

[@HowToWithLech]

These kits are meant to go over studs. But you can try. If all right size it should work

[@LandonSugar]

Thank you for the video. We are in the process of installing the same shower and this video was extremely helpful for us. Where are you located?

[@HowToWithLech]

Glad to help. NJ/PA

[@Mike-vi9bg]

Amazing video! Very helpful! Thank you! !!

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👊

[@AS-gs5lr]

Why did you add the seal plate sealer behind some of those walls? I haven't seen that in other videos?

[@HowToWithLech]

It was recommended for this setup

[@mccg4337]

the only complaint is these stalls dont come in taller sizes.. I mean how hard it is to leave some plastic so customers can choose the height and cut it themselves....

[@HowToWithLech]

Yeah true. Def short. But I feel like most people these days would not want to deal with that. But they should have the option

[@chriserickson4417]

Excellent video. Thanks for the info.

[@traderflex]

Good job! I would have made the doorway smaller if possible or moved it over if possible to allow more room for the shower. Also, installing a 2x6 for the curtain rod support would be nice too. 🤠

[@HowToWithLech]

yeah. this was budjet build. no my call. but yes, great point. thanks

[@chrisallen3741]

This is so helpful, thank you so much. I have a question because i didnt leave my studs open. I have a Mobil home which i had to insulate the walls and i used kurdi board so that it will be totally water proof and the walls would be solid. I’m planning on putting a plastic umm bead board looking finish because it will match everything all around and my sheet rock in the Mobil home is only 1 fourth of an inch i want to stiffen the walls. There is only 1x3 studs inside the walls and 2x6 on outside walls. Should i remove the kurdi board? It is 100 percent water proof. I could always remove if so and just use it to cover the tops of the shower. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you very much.

[@HowToWithLech]

i dont think you should just make sure to connects to the studs behind it on parts where screws are needed. or just glue the hell out of it hehe. you're doing custom setup so will not be traditional way. can even run think studs on top of hte board but dont think needed. but as long as you have the walls and base or square and level it will all line up and connect just fine. and shower wont leak if all lined up, i think you'll be good.

[@chrisallen3741]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the advice @@HowToWithLech

[@BsideBomber]

Do you have a shower door you suggest for these or have a video of you installing one on these shower pans with that weird ass lip?

[@mikeygeeehotmail]

I found several places online that told me a shower door isn’t an option for this specific kit. I believe you’re limited to a curtain only.

[@ismaelespinoza7743]

Gracias por enseñar hermano.

[@staceydickson3530]

Great installation guide

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👊

[@shantor100]

Do you have to install 2x4 or 2x3 on edges for a door?

[@DaveCrawford-jl9nn]

You have to mount a 2x4 or 2x6 (or two) on each side depending on the door you might add later.

[@dandeon7742]

Great job and excellent narration. You are a good teacher. Thanks!

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👍

[@larrybud]

What's the point of the sill plate gasket vs gluing the whole thing in?

[@HowToWithLech]

im sure you can glue. just going by the mfr recommended steps.

[@MegaMarlon0123]

Is an air venting fan needed on a shower? Or not really?

[@HowToWithLech]

Recommended. But some older homes don’t have it. Crack window open 😉

[@MegaMarlon0123]

@@HowToWithLech don’t have a window in that bathroom, building a bath in my basement

[@davidtinney9463]

Seems like when I put the side panels in there is a huge gap there they meet the back wall any way to fix that?

[@HowToWithLech]

Will have to add studs or spacers

[@jefflindberg2838]

i had to kick my panels in the front lock them in @@HowToWithLech

[@handsupbud]

Wow, why did the need a new shower? The old one had never been used in 25 years.

[@HowToWithLech]

haha. I guess the new tenants are planning too. lol

[@justdewit]

Bro amazing vid. I owe you 6 beers

[@HowToWithLech]

I’m down 👊

[@terry6552]

How long did it take to install

[@HowToWithLech]

1 day project. If don’t have to do all the prep work we did

[@HuyNPM]

What shower door did you install with this Delta Classic 500?

[@HowToWithLech]

We didn’t do the door

[@alexg3030]

Great job

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks

[@shantor100]

Omg, the reason they show videos for the drain is that you install it on the pan before install

[@DaveCrawford-jl9nn]

Not possible when installing into concrete or wherever no bottom access exists. I'm dealing with this right now. If you glue the base down and attach it and have no access from below, the only 2 choices you have are to drop in PVC along with an outer bushing to complete the seal (which I do not want to do). The alternative (which I'm going to do) is set the drain very carefully so it is flat and has some movement available (and put the paper and rubber washers onto the glued bottom half of the drain). Then, like this guy did, set the base then put sealant on the upper ring/base sealing surface and tighten a quarter to half turn past where the ring contacts the base. No good option here.

[@AnaSuzuki-f2m]

16 and 6/8ths bro...really?

[@HowToWithLech]

👍

[@MAGAMAN]

All that prep work and you still screwed it up. The back wall is way out of line compared to the other walls.

[@HowToWithLech]

Watch full video. All lines up right. It’s how the house is built. We did that to square it all up
