Hello Oatey! I am in the process of installing a Delta Classic 500 preformed shower pan. I see this often used with the drain included with this video. I had a contractor suggest i install waterproofing under the pan in case the pan cracks. I do see Oatey has a product of a 40 mil pvc liner used for tile installations. Do you have any products that would add a water protective layer and be compatible with a preformed base?
Mine is leaking underneath into my crawl space is it just a matter of tightening the nut underneath or replacing the rubber pipe gasket that fits over the drain pipe or replacing the whole flange.
Nice video!! Where can i find a tool to tighten rubber gasket? Water leaks in to my closet and I think that’s the problem.
How do you get the cover off!! When you do a video start from the beginning
This is 1000% more useful than the printed instructions that came with the drain.
Question? The bottom just slips onto the drain pipe with no glue or sealant?
I still dont get why pans cant have a mini funnel drains straight into 2" pipe. Why have all these gasket, silicone/putty, and fitting issues?
Don't install like this. I did and thought my pipes were leaky. I cut them out and then saw all my joints were fine. Watched a video showing how to actually use these by another person and realized this video showed me how not to install the gasket.
I guess we cannot do this without removing the shower pan?
Thanks. I wasn't sure where all of the gaskets went- if they were above or below the shower pan. Now I know. Happy to see some of it can be installed before installing the shower pan. That will make things simpler. How far up can the drain pipe go in to the oatey drain? And does it need to be solvent welded or will the gasket hold it on?
