How to install a shower drain?
Hi, I've torn out the old ***** floor that was over concrete. A pan or liner was never installed at construction time. My home was built in 1967. The 2" drain pipe is only 3/4" above the concrete floor. I feel I need a pitch foor to install a liner over. However, the heigth of the drain won't allow for that. How to I attach to the old drain pipe to elevate it? Or can I lay the liner over the flat floor and build my pitch base over that. Also, How to seal the liner around the old drain pipe?
Thanks, Gary. |

I'd suggest you look into using the Kerdi shower pan system.Schluter-KERDI-SHOWER-KIT - Schluter-Systems It is water tight, raised and pretty easy to install even for someone with little experience.

There is a decent article with a good diagram of the shower pan process at the following site: WestCoastShowerPans.com
