How high above the dam or threshold must nails and perforations of shower liners be?

The correct answer is that nails and perforations of shower liners must be at least 1 inch above the dam or threshold. This requirement is primarily in place to prevent water from penetrating through the liner and compromising the integrity of the shower installation. By placing nails or other fasteners above this height, any potential leaks that could result from perforations are kept away from areas where water may pool or seep through. This helps ensure that the shower area remains waterproof and reduces the risk of mold and water damage in surrounding areas.

Options suggesting greater heights, such as 2, 3, or 4 inches, while they may seem to offer additional safety, do not align with the established requirements for shower installations. The 1-inch specification is designed to effectively balance practicality and function for maintaining a proper seal within shower installations.
