I read one of your posts from April and got the order of strainer/threaded drain with small rope of plumbers putty/shower/rubber gasket/friction washer/retaining nut/stub up from trap. Does the retaining nut lock onto the stub up as it tightens?
There are no supports under the shower. The directions from the manufacturer say to make a lip for the front with some 2X4s - I'm planning on using treated wood for that. The manufacturer says support isn't needed as it's rated up to 300 lbs. Problem is: 2 people in the shower easily exceeds that weight. I'm not trying to sound like a weirdob but it is conceivable that 2 house guests might shower together. SO... I want some support under there. The water supply for the upper story bathroom runs right by where I'm putting in the vanity. I figured I'd run it over to the shower in the wall from that point. (The water supply lines are flexible, which was a surprise to me - new house.) I'd be tapping into the water supply lines for the toilet, vanity and shower at the same point. That's OK?
Oh, and the basement uses a grinder and lift pump, but I had the builder connect the rough-in for this bathroom into all that (washer is already on it.).
Thank you, Tom, you're great!
Do people post pictures of these projects AFTER they finish?
