    How to plumb a drain for above floor shower unit
    In the basement we are putting in a shower with a above floor shower unit. How do you plumb the drain without having to build up the shower base, because that is the purpose of purchasing a above the floor shower base.

    Hi Beckhendo

    Can you tell me the brand name and the model number of the unit you are installing.

    What type of pipes are present?

    Is there a pump involved?

    How do you plan on venting the shower drain, etc... ;)

    Back to you...
