2. Before you install prepare your drain pipe.
Sand outer top edge of pipe to remove all burrs and sharp edges. This protects the O-ring, allowing it to easily slip over the pipe. Clean outside of pipe for a good O-ring seal. Inspect pipe for any irregularities. Pipe must be smooth! ✔

Prepare Drain Pipe

3. Measure the drain pipe & shower pan.

  • Top of the pipe must be approximately 1/2” from the shower floor ✔

  • Drain pipe outside diameter must be 2 3/8” ✔

  • The minimum shower pan hole diameter must be 3 1/4” ✔
