I just installed a new shower and drain and the drain is leaking around the black caulking gasket of my new Oatey Caspers drain. It seems I am unable to create a good seal when tightening down the locking nut on top of the gasket. At first I thought my PVC pipe was sticking up too tall into the drain, so I cut it so that the gasket sits down on top of the flange at the bottom of the drain and the top of the gasket is even with the top of the PVC pipe. This seems to be in line with the minuscule instructions that came with the drain.
I have do access to underneath the drain, but I really can't understand why this seemingly easy part of the installation won't work. I suppose I could get the whole thing out again if needed though.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
