Hi, Greetings.

I am looking for a shower tub strainer body. On the corner of the shower tub, there is "Swan KD-3636" marking on it, and we need a piece of the Strainer body. According to my friend that I need an original brand 2-inch strainer body because there is tiny leaking when someone is taking the shower in the tub. Or I need something else?

I am trying to find it on the Internet, but no luck. Can someone help please. Thanks.

Hi Y2KD88

Your post is not clear...

Is this a shower or a "shower tub" as you posted?

If this is a shower then any common shower strainer assembly should be able to be changed out.

However, when I see SWAN I think swanstone and you can try their website at: Swanstone Products

I am glad to discuss more if you want.

Are you looking for a drain or a strainer? Back to you, Tom

@Mark, it's a standing shower tub... I think that's what you call it, isn't it?

@Tom, I am looking for a strainer body （** I found online, and I think that's what it is called). My friend told me it should be a 2-inch wide, and 2-inch long with screw threads, a piece of hardware right under the strainer or a piece of hardware on top of the drain pipe. I hope I did make it clear above.

Thanks for both of your help.

A shower is a shower and has a 2" drain.

A tub/shower combo. has an 1.5" drain and an 1.5" tub waste and overflow assembly.

Are you looking for a strainer (see image) or a tub waste and overflow assembly (see other pic.)?

The pieces under the strainer... looks like that white piece. Thanks.

The pieces under the strainer

You have indicated a drain. Is this for a shower or a bathtub? Why are we having so much trouble getting information from you? Back to you, Tom

Yeah, I have to admit there is definitely a problem communicating here, but at this point I think I understand... ;)

You are talking about a SHOWER (not a shower tub or a tub) and you need the ENTIRE SHOWER STRAINER ASSEMBLY... not just the parts below the strainer, OK?

My advice to you is to purchase a 2" PVC coupling, some 2" pipe (small piece) some PVC cement and PVC primer, some silicone, and a new SHOWER STRAINER ASSEMBLY.

Cut the pipe under the shower, remove the old strainer and install the new strainer.

That is EXACTLY what you need to do here.

Good luck!

Tom,

Yes, It's a shower. Sorry, It's not difficult getting inforamtion from me; It's just that I am not plumbing savvy, so it was difficult for me to describe it. Thanks.

Click on Google for selections and instructions on how to install, Good luck, Tom
