    Coarse Thread Shower Drain
    So I've gone and looked at Youtube and invested in a small hacksaw to take out a stuck shower drain. Needless to say this should have been a last resort.

    I'm looking for a part that will fit what I've destroyed on the shower drain body which reads:

    "PVC ASTM D2665 ABS ASTM D2661"

    House was built in 1998. Plumbing installed by RJ Smith Plumbing of Frederick, MD. Tried calling with no return calls. So I went to Fergusons and believe it or not, they had nothing other than a ProFlo which was a little to big.

    Went to a local Plumbing place here in Maryland and they gave me a Jones Stephens D41001. That piece almost fits, but has two vertical slats about 1/4" wide on either side of the drain and seems to be too tight of a fit.

    I'm desperate for a part number and manufacturer. Lowe's and Home Depot didn't have the coarse threads I needed.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Your number suggests that you have a PVC drain. Did you destroy the basket or can you use it to match up threads? What you have isn't too unusual. Can you post a picture?
