    Shower drain
    Older house with copper pipe drain from shower. I was not able to get the drain apart so I cut the shower floor apart, and still not able to get shower drain apart. If I cut pipe can I use PVC pipe with the copper pipe that is already there?

    Sure, you will just need to get a copper by pvc shielded adapter clamp to make the transition.
