Speedball or anybody available, I need help!! I have been reading these posts and have learned so much and now think I have the correct lingo to ask a question.
I have a 2nd floor shower that has been leaking, and by the looks of the closet underneath, has been leaking prior to moving into this house. The shower drain is a No-caulk Oatley drain #42099. I ran a hose down the drain and no leak, so I pinpointed the leak to: rubber gasket and/ or pvc compression ring, or seal between drain and floor pan. The drain is tight to floor pan and there is no movement, so that is good. I cleaned up the old caulk between drain and floor pan and have applied new silicone caulk.
Next, I purchased a new Oatley No-caulk drain to use the NEW rubber gasket and NEW pvc compression ring. Now I have a few questions about installing these 2 pieces.
FIRST QUESTION. I am able to move stubup (which is glued into ptrap below) RIGHT to LEFT. As well as UP and DOWN. Is this normal?
SECOND QUESTION. When inserting the rubber gasket over 2" stubup, should I pull up the stubup and slide gasket down as tight as possible?
THIRD QUESTION: Where should I apply silicone caulk on rubber gasket and / or compression ring? (Or don't apply caulk, which is why they call it NO-Caulk drain. )
Thanks so much for all the info on this site!!
