    Shower Drain
    I am replacing my shower in the basement. I have taken out the fiberglass showerpan and I am going to pour my own showerpan and tile it. I have a 2" non-hub steel pipe that I need a drain to attach to. Does anyone know what type of drain I need for this application? Also, how much should I expect to pay for said drain? Thank you!

    WingTite makes a drain,(see image) that installs without gluing or pouring and caulking a lead and oakum joint. Check it out at ;Plumb-Rite's Wingtite. "Replace the Drain, Not the Whole Shower
    The only other option is a caulk on shower drain with a lead and oakum joint.
    Good luck, Tom
