    Shower drain
    I have a stall shower that does not have a ptrap under it. Is there something I can put in the 2 inch pipe going down to stop gas smell from coming up

    This would probably not pass a plumbing inspection in your town for a shower, but it will definitely stop sewer gasses from escaping from the drain.

    Good luck!
