Fastest Shower Pan I've Ever Installed!!! --- Tile Redi with Compression Drain Connection

[@TR4Ajim]

Just a tip - I tie a thin piece of string to the tightening key. That way if it should slip down the drain, you can easily fish it back out!👍

[@warrensmith8677]

I just bought my tile ready base looking forward to the challenge. You make things very doable. Thanks another I enjoy your videos.

Great dance moves coach! That was a good set. 😀

[@bobpetersen1]

love what you do brother. You have a great spirit!

[@jefffree6990]

I love that shower pan shimmy dance! I'm very interested in this system for my bathroom reno. It looks like this custom pan is completely different from the standard ones. This one looks like its solid with a flat bottom and much tougher. The regular one has ribs on the bottom and made from foam ( I found a video on home depot that shows the regular one needs a 1 inch Type N/S mortar bed, not thinset like this one)

[@TileCoach]

You are correct. They have 2 types of pans; custom (black) and stock (white)

[@johnnyv5995]

LOVE this system...no stupid multi paper system in a wet space. Wish I would have gone into trades, at 56...a little too late to do it full time

[@1bottlefed]

It all depends. I was a car mechanic (certified master tech) 18-38 but got tired of all the chemicals, did some service writing and then went into IT work into my early 50s but got tired of staring at a monitor all day long and started doing handyman work on my own in my mid 50s doing a bathroom remodel with a tile shower right now at 69 yrs old.. I could have never worked as a helper or for a company at 55 but working on my own 5-6 hrs a day for 4-5 days a week is doable even at 69 is doable.

@@TileCoach haha. It was a bucket list for me I live in Santa Barbara. A local lake 7.3 pounds biggest I’ve ever come close to landing. Thanks again truly I’m no expert by any means. Mostly home building and remodels I’ve only done five or more showers using old methods. 65 years old this system was not just simple. Great product and bulletproof . I’d been contemplating building the shower in a remodel I’m doing now and watching all your videos and seeing all the issues with some of the newer products. Tile redi was a no brainer. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@johng9562]

Great pan coach ~ we looked at this option, but since it actually cost more that a traditional pan BEFORE any tile are installed! So went with a one-piece shower pan as there is no tile needed and the failure rate is the lowest of any possible shower floor installation. My wife loves it!

[@TileCoach]

That is a good way to go too. Our clients want the look and feel of a tile shower pan, so thats why we use the Tile Redi.

[@1bottlefed]

Funny I just mentioned that they should do a top down drain on your last vid and here it is 10 days later and they are on board LOL

[@TileCoach]

Great minds think alike

[@frankshannon3235]

Now you're talking! That other drain seemed a little scary. And by the way, get you one of those EasyLean things so you don't have to lean against the wall.

[@stevev3962]

I burn in the bottom of the pan with a flat troweled layer of thinset. It is a good product...the custom curb size is great for maximizing shower space. The lead times on the custom bases, and cost are the downsides...

[@ap0c4lyptyc]

I am planning on a bathroom remodel soon and absolutely love the fact that you've introduced me to this Tile Redi system! It seems foolproof for a beginner and takes care of my worries of it leaking at the corners like you described. My question is which version of this do you prefer/which is "better"? This pan you basically treat like a giant tile with the thinset, but the other pan you have to create a thick bed for it to sit in and bond to. I feel like this pan is easier install because you don't have to fiddle with the thickness of the 'bed' of thinset like the other. What are your thoughts on it now that you have used both? Thank you for all of this fantastic information you provide! The videos are always entertaining and it's fun to learn a new thing!

[@TileCoach]

I tend to like the black ones better. But the white ones are in stock and faster turnaround, which I like to use on jobs that I need it quickly. They are both great pans.

[@christianmendez6046]

What drill are you using to mix the thinset?.... great video 👏👏

[@chopsjazz1]

I'm doing my bathroom and have been using your videos as guidance. Thanks for your informative style. I notice that you used the sealant UNDER the flashing. The Tile Redi instructions and their video does not mention sealant under the flashing, only on top of it. Your thoughts?

[@daveyaccarino38]

Great video as usual appreciate it. I am planning a shower renovation with a stand alone tub shower combo, roughly 6 ft x 6ft. So i would need 2 drains do you think this Tile Redi pan system would work with that type of installation? Thanks in advance for any advice.

[@elizabethdoherty5037]

Great video, Isaac! Thank you!

[@TileCoach]

My pleasure!

[@JLT2342]

You did it look so simple! Is this Redi shower pan customized to meet the size?

Yes, you provide us with your exact measurements, drain location, number of curbs/height/width and we'll create your pan made to your custom needs.

Glad I found this video! Question, so the shower pans on the website aren't black like this one and they also aren't flat on the bottom. How did I get this type from this video with the compression drain?

[@EnkiMMXII]

The black flat bottoms are custom built to your spec. The white are stock sizes/drain locations

[@FM-dk1vp]

I guess I’m in the building trades…I’ve been doing this kind of thing since my mid twenties but only for myself. Too busy and worn out to do it for anyone else. 😅

[@beantooth]

Great vids! Tile Redi and others tell us to be sure to use a vapor barrier under the mortar bed, and they say to ONLY use Type S mortar for pan install. I see you use no tar paper, and say to use modified thin set? Tell us why? Appreciate your great content man!

[@TileCoach]

There are two types of Tile Redi pans, the ones with ribs and the flat bottom black ones. The black ones there is no vapor barier needed, just thinset to the floor.

[@mattmason7554]

Greatest system in the world. Till next month.

[@9livesReset]

I would love to see a curbless install. TileRedi might be great but their support lacks.... There are no specific instructions for their curbless installation, nor do they seem to know how to transition from their pan to the main bath floor. We would love to use this system transitioning to Schulter Ditra underlayment if possible. Or? Love to see a video, but we would also pay for a consultation if you think this is possible. Or maybe I just go for it, LOL. (little O leak). Thanks...

[@kenneth3558]

I have questions about installing a tile redi seat. Where it goes to the pan is it the same as a wall board with the flashing or does something different have to be done?

[@rjmaloney7295]

Isn't a rough surface the exact reason to back butter for the best bond?

[@MAGAMAN]

A rough surface will grab the mortar very well, so you don't really need to back butter. The only reason I woudl think you would is if you are unsure of your skill. I'm not an expert tile installer, so I always back butter when I do work on my house. I'm pretty sure that the tile would be fine if I didn't but I would rather err on the side of caution.

[@rjmaloney7295]

@@MAGAMAN the reason for back buttering is to create as close to 100% coverage as possible. Rough surfaces create voids. That’s why we back butter tile, because of the not smooth surface.

[@TileCoach]

Its a rough surface, not really lugged like tile is. But good question! Back butter wouldn't hurt, just not sure if it would help in this case.

[@Astros-dz4bx]

would you say tile redi pans are the easiest for DIY beginners?

[@burrowsal]

I'm surprised they don't set up for a Flow Fx drain. Is that something you can request?

I am doing my best to convince them! At a minumum I know they are curreently working on more drain grate designs

[@Lowdown13blues]

[@martinjohnson7061]

Is tile redi available in the UK

[@TileCoach]

I don’t think so

[@fishynut8252]

Kinda surprised you didn't wet (sponge) the floor before applying the thinset!

[@TileCoach]

No need especially with Platinum. Good luck to the poor soul who has to remove it

[@frankcatrini4816]

on these custom sized redi pans, do you gut the shower first then measure and wait for them?

[@TileRedi_US]

We recommend that you have the shower gutted so that you know your exact measurements and your drain placement.

[@ParkerscrossroadsCG]

So much controversy out there on thin setting directly to a wood subfloor. I'm about to install my Redi Your Way pan to Advantech subfloor. Think I'm just gonna clean the floor good, damp wipe it down and use All Set

[@ParkerscrossroadsCG]

this right off the Ready Tile instructions :DO NOT PLACE THIN-SET DIRECTLY ON A WOOD OR GYP-CRETE SUBSTRATE. FIRST, WATERPROOF THE SUBSTRATE WITH A FLUID APPLIED WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE, OR NO. 15 OR NO. 30 ROOFING PAPER SO THE WOOD DOES NOT ABSORB THE WATER FROM THE THIN-SET

[@fooflateka]

what's the rationale for leaving all that black stuff (mold?) on the wall/insulation and OSB subfloor?

[@akhkharu2305]

that was residue from the previous shower pan that was a hot mop. no issue.

Just talked to Tile Redi and they said the compression drain they offer is just for cast iron drains. You clearly are cutting a plastic drain line in the video. I’m interested in installing a pan on a plastic drain. Can you explain what’s going on?

[@TileCoach]

The compression drain is made of cast iron. They can connect on 2" PVC, ABS, or Cast Iron sewer lines. Hope that answers your question

I'm sorry, but this adjustable cast iron drain is available on our Redi Your Way pans upon request.

[@carmanvare4672]

Same, just had this delivered without the compression nut at the drain. Wish I knew this was an option prior to ordering. Wonder if the drain hole can be modified to add the compression system? Also, I ordered a square drain grate but the pan came with a round in inset. Again, wish I would have known prior to ordering.
