The ANZZI SB-AZ022L is the 48" x 36" Port Series corner shower base with a center drain, in the left hand version. Made for a 48" x 36" corner, it brings a lustrous high gloss white acrylic floor with a two-sided integrated tile flange.
Port is a corner base: a two-sided integrated tile flange runs along the two walls of the corner, and the open sides take your glass enclosure. ANZZI builds it from Rhino Alloy certified marine grade acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement, in a lustrous high gloss white finish that brightens a small shower.
The integrated flange is 1.2" tall, so tile or panels lap over it and wall water runs back into the base, and the interior depth of up to 2.5" holds water toward the center drain.
ANZZI states the base is cUPC certified, and the fiberglass reinforcement under the acrylic gives the floor a firm, solid feel. Because the base sits in a corner, only two walls take the flange, which keeps the framing simple.
Overall the base measures 48" W x 36" D x 5.5" H. The center drain sits mid-floor, the usual position when you are replacing an existing center-drain pan. It is a corner base: the flange runs along the two walls of the corner, and the open sides take a corner glass enclosure, so measure both walls of the corner before ordering.
Port is offered in a left hand version (SB-AZ022L) and a right hand version (SB-AZ022R); check the orientation on ANZZI's spec sheet in Resources against the corner you are fitting before you order. The 48" x 36" footprint is a comfortable size for a corner, roomier than a 36" square base without the full length of a 60" alcove. Both versions share the same 1.2" integrated flange, interior depth of up to 2.5" and center drain, so the choice of hand is purely about the room.
Plan the rest of the shower around the base: you will need a drain assembly, sold separately, mortar and sealant for the install, and a corner glass enclosure or wall surround to finish the space. Day to day the floor needs little more than a rinse and a wipe with a soft cloth after showering, and a wash with mild soap now and then keeps the surface bright; skip abrasive pads and scrapers, which dull the finish.
Port suits a corner shower in a guest bath, an en suite or a basement bathroom where a 48" x 36" footprint fits along two walls, finished with a glass corner enclosure.
Features
Two-Sided Corner Flange
A two-sided integrated tile flange suits corner installation, with the open sides ready for a glass enclosure.
Integrated 1.2" Tile Flange
The 1.2" flange lets tile or panels lap over it, sending wall water back into the base instead of behind it.
Up to 2.5" Interior Depth
An interior depth of up to 2.5" keeps water in the base and moving to the center drain.
Fiberglass-Reinforced Acrylic
Rhino Alloy certified marine grade acrylic with fiberglass reinforcement gives a rigid, glossy white floor.
cUPC Certified
ANZZI lists the base as cUPC certified, the plumbing listing most US and Canadian inspectors look for.
Center Drain
The center drain sits mid-floor, the common position when replacing an existing center-drain shower pan.
48" x 36" Footprint
Overall the base measures 48" W x 36" D x 5.5" H, so measure the framed corner before ordering and allow for the wall finish over the flange.
Left Hand Version
This is the left hand version: match the hand to the side of the corner the flange will run along, so the open sides face the room.

Installation & Care
Installation
Frame the corner so the walls and subfloor are solid, plumb and square, as ANZZI's manual requires, and confirm the drain location before you start. The drain assembly is sold separately: the manual calls for a 2" PVC waste pipe, a drain cutout no larger than 5" in diameter (a 5" x 5" opening in the subfloor) and a sealant or gasket at the drain, never plumber's putty, which degrades the base. Let the base reach room temperature for 30 minutes, set it level in two directions on a bed of thick mortar, fasten the flange to the studs with gaps under 1/8" (shim where needed), and wait 24 hours before using the shower. Install the base before the door, wall panels or tile. ANZZI's installation manual and specification sheet are in Resources.
Care
ANZZI's base manual says to wipe the acrylic after each use with a soft cloth and to clean it with non-abrasive sprays or cream-based cleaners; never use abrasive cleansers, metal brushes or scrapers, which scratch and dull the surface. ANZZI's care guide adds: wash with regular soap and hot water on a non-abrasive cloth or sponge, test any stronger cleaner on an inconspicuous area first, rinse completely right after cleaning, and do not let the cleaner soak.
