Shower Pan - Linear Drain Side Wall 36" - 36x36
Description
This professional DXF template provides complete fabrication specifications for a 36-inch by 36-inch stone shower pan featuring a full-length 36-inch linear drain positioned along one side wall. The full-length drain configuration maximizes drainage capacity while integrating seamlessly with the wall structure, creating the ultimate in efficient water management for modern shower designs. With the drain channel extending nearly edge-to-edge along the entire 36-inch wall, this template delivers unparalleled drainage performance ideal for high-flow shower systems. Full-length side-wall drains represent the pinnacle of contemporary shower drainage technology, combining maximum water capture capability with clean architectural lines. The 36-inch drain extends the full width of the shower pan, ensuring rapid water evacuation even with multiple shower heads or rainfall systems. The simple single-plane slope from the opposite wall toward the full-length drain creates efficient water flow while simplifying both fabrication and installation compared to traditional drainage systems. Fabricators receive comprehensive technical specifications including precisely calculated slope geometry, exact drain channel pocket dimensions for the full 36-inch length, perimeter reference lines, and complete CNC toolpath data. The template supports all premium stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, and engineered quartz, with file compatibility across all major CNC fabrication systems and CAD software platforms.

Answer summary
What is the Shower Pan - Linear Drain Side Wall 36" - 36x36 DXF template for?
Shower Pan - Linear Drain Side Wall 36" - 36x36 is a architectural stone DXF template for countertop fabrication. Use it only after matching the manufacturer, model, dimensions, variant, and shop workflow to the actual job.
Risk check: Similar-looking products can use different cutout geometry. Confirm the official spec, shop tolerance, material behavior, and CNC output before production.
Next step: Run a DXF check, compare related templates, and keep the current manufacturer spec with the job packet.
Template decision guide
Should you use the Shower Pan - Linear Drain Side Wall 36" - 36x36 DXF template?
Use the template page to shortlist a production file, then verify the exact model, variant, and machine workflow before cutting.
Best fit
Shower Pan - Linear Drain Side Wall 36" - 36x36 is most useful when the product, manufacturer, model, install type, and variant match the job you are fabricating.
What to compare
Compare model number, dimensions, reveal or overhang, bowl or appliance geometry, material thickness, and CNC output requirements.
Risk check
Do not use a similar-looking template as a final production file. Small changes in flange, radius, trim, or reveal can cause a failed cutout.
Evidence to verify
Check the current manufacturer spec, field measurement, template preview, DXF layers, and a shop-approved tolerance before production.

Installation Overview
Installation requires careful attention to the extended drain channel positioning. Verify rough plumbing placement matches the side-wall location with adequate space for the full 36-inch drain body. Horizontal drain piping must run within or behind the wall structure. Prepare substrate with waterproofing extending from floor up the drain-equipped wall. Set the 36-inch linear drain body perfectly level along the entire wall at correct height for 1/4 inch per foot slope. Apply thin-set mortar with complete coverage. Position the stone pan carefully, verifying slope across the 36-inch width toward the wall drain. The full-length drain requires precise alignment along entire wall. Install waterproofing membrane integrating the extended drain flange with floor and wall surfaces. Allow proper cure time and test drainage before wall tile installation.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program single-plane slope from the high edge toward the side-wall drain, maintaining consistent 1/4 inch per foot pitch across the 36-inch width. The full-length drain pocket requires extended toolpath programming - cut to precise depth specifications extending the full 36 inches along one edge. Use sharp diamond tooling, monitoring bit condition during the extended pocket cut to prevent chipping. For engineered quartz, carbide bits with reduced feed rates produce optimal results. The high edge requires appropriate finishing profile. The drain-side edge must be precisely cut to ensure tight fit along the entire wall length. Always dry-fit the actual 36-inch drain body before final polishing to verify pocket dimensions and wall alignment.
Material Compatibility
Ideal for dense granite varieties maintaining structural integrity while accommodating the extended drain pocket cut. Absolute black granite, steel grey, and other low-porosity granites perform exceptionally well. Engineered quartz provides superior performance due to uniform density and non-porous composition. Quartzite offers natural beauty with excellent hardness. Marble can be used with proper sealing. The full-length drain pocket creates significant material removal along one edge, so avoid stones with natural fissures or heavy veining parallel to the drain. Verify slip-resistance requirements for shower applications.
