    Drain can be placed anywhere you want it, no particular "side drain" for a shower. Depends on how the P trap is oriented. Maybe use a 2" elbow and then a P trap at a location outside the pan. OR, cut the floor, drop the P Trap into it and then back out.

    The PTRAP MUST be located directly under the shower strainer... cannot be located outside the pan area... ;)

    Exactly why are you asking for a side discharge shower drain wgrain? Let us know as many details as you can and maybe we can come up with something, but need more info.

Side discharge shower drain [ 4 Answers ]

I am replacing my tub with a larger shower pan. The drain for the new shower hits dead center on a floor joist. Does anyone know if a side discharge drain is available in 2" and where I might get one? I could build out the wall so that it would miss the joist but it's a small bathroom.
