48x48 Curbed Above Floor Rough Shower Pan P4848AFR (AFR Curbed Base)

The P4848AFR is a professional-grade, single-piece sanitary Above Floor Rough (AFR) curbed shower base engineered specifically for remodeling installations where concrete slabs or wood subfloors cannot be core-drilled or excavated. Manufactured from high-density, gelcoat-reinforced fiberglass, this shower pan features a pre-leveled, self-supporting base design that provides a dedicated plumbing clearance space underneath. This unique cavity allows you to route horizontal waste lines and P-traps directly above the existing floor, eliminating the expensive construction cost of relocating plumbing stacks.

Technical Specifications

Above Floor Rough (AFR) Engineering Advantage

Unlike standard curbed shower pans that require the drainage trap to be recessed into the subfloor, the P4838AFR is physically elevated to create a dedicated plumbing zone between the shower pan and the structural subfloor:

• Subfloor Excavation Elimination: Allows direct waste line routing across concrete slabs or solid timber floors.
• Pre-Leveled Symmetrical Base: The structural core is factory-leveled during casting, allowing direct installation with structural construction adhesive to save installation time and minimize bather deflection.
• Traditional Curbed Barrier: A 4-inch step-over height with a 6.125-inch outer vertical profile optimizes water containment, directing all graywater runoff back toward the central drain basket.

Regulatory & Building Code Compliance

This plumbing fixture is manufactured to comply with strict public and residential safety standards:

• ANSI Z124.1.2 Compliance: Certified compliant for structural load, wear-resistance, and non-porous gelcoat material standards for plastic shower bases.
• Uniform Plumbing Codes: Fully approved under the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).
• Slip-Resistant Textured Floor: Features a built-in micro-textured surface to maximize traction in wet conditions, complying with standard plumbing safety coefficient requirements.
• Sanitary Surface Integrity: The stain-resistant gelcoat finish prevents bacterial nesting and withstands rigorous commercial sanitation protocols.
