Have you bought your shower pan yet. Fiberglass pans have a drain hole with a rubber collar that fills the gap between your 2" PVC drain pipe and the pan. Initially the PVC sticks up above the fllor of the pan while you set the pan in thinset. Once the thinset has cured you cut the PVC right at the top edge of the black coolar's height. Grease the collar and shove it in place.
