This video shows you how I installed a 2" brass drain on my new fiberglass shower pan. I used plumber's putty (check shower pan manufacturer's instructions!) versus silicone to seal the underside top lip of the drain. Gaskets went on under the shower pan in order: thin rubber, paper, then brass nut. Shower pan then went over runner PVC drain coming up from floor, then put the thick rubber on (bevel side up) followed by the brass castle nut. I water tested everything and checked for leaks. Dry and good to go!

Great diligence and very thorough. You went the extra mile in order to show us that it was leak proof. Up and down the stairs a lot, I'm guessing. Job well done.

You’re a life saver now i can do my shower thank you

[@jerrysuchanek9069]

Well done instructions. Thanks

[@cornpop7805]

Not bad! A little psycho cautious, but better than psyco wet 1st floor ceiling, due to bad sealing.

[@murrat]

Thanks. This was helpful to me.

[@sklee1644]

Thanks for sharing. How many inches the pipe come out of the floor?

[@tii2015]

This is a GREAT tutorial! ESPECIALLY if it's not a pan is already installed situation.

[@georgespragg9372]

Good job.

[@xolo-2466]

Exelente explicación 👍

[@jhf8180]

The under-the-shower-plastic-funnel-to-a-drain-point-in-the-ceiling-underneath-to -help-detect-leaks-without-waiting-for-ceiling-damage is super clever... it is like a shower pan under the shower pan. v2 should just route it to waste as well and never worry about leaks!

[@davidburkholder7360]

Nice. Is this Kohler? What is height of PVC pipe that gasket goes round?

[@nealmallett8621]

You also need to test with ‘weight’ on the floor plan as if someone is showering to make sure there is no flex around the drain.

[@bobbader4789]

I could not get the drain and ring tight, once it got close to tight the entire unit spun together

[@AhmedAhmed-yu5mz]

or you can be crazy like me and simply once your done put water resistant silicone over the gasket. if you buy a good type of sillicone it can last 20 years without mold.

[@natalie4873]

Great video, my question is… do you apply any pvc glue to the shower drain and drain pipe?

[@allenh5389]

brass drain✔️

[@NachoHatSD]

What brand drain did you use? Thanks in advance.

[@maxcarter3413]

After having installed the drain as you did, I have tested it and never had a failure. There is no need for the test and delaying work for several hours.

[@vermontmike9800]

Honest question, I’ve never understood why a rubber gasket is not used in place of the plumbers paddy. Could you explain? It seems like it was be easier and would seal that part better.

[@PanyingPilot]

Not every pan will work with putty. It is advisable to read the product installation guide first.
