TILE SHOWER DRAINS

Application with Wood Subﬂoor

INSTRUCTION GUIDE

For typical wood subﬂoor, cut a 4.5" diameter hole in the

center of the shower ﬂoor where the tile shower drain would

normally be positioned. Disassemble the tile shower drain.

Place the shower drain base into the opening so that the

drain base rests level on top of the wood subﬂoor.

Measure and cut vertical drainpipe to desired length.

Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburr the inside and

chamfer the outside of all pipe ends, and remove all

debris from pipe ends and hub connection of drain body.

Interference ﬁt between pipe and ﬁtting hub must be

completed prior to primer and cement application. Pipe

should easily go 1/3 to 2/3 the way into the ﬁtting hub.

Next follow steps in solvent welding the drain base to the drainpipe using an approved Oatey

primer and solvent cement.

• Apply primer inside the ﬁtting hub, then the exterior of pipe end and again the ﬁtting hub.

• Once the primer has been applied to both surfaces, the cement must be applied within

5 minutes. If not, you MUST prime the surfaces again before applying cement.

*Do not use primer on ABS pipe and ﬁttings.

• Turn drain base 1/4 of turn as you push the pipe end into the ﬁtting hub.

Fasten the drain base by using the four countersunk holes around the perimeter of the drain

ﬂange, and anchor in place with a stainless steel or brass screw to decking or substrate. If

provided, install Oatey Reusable Tool-Free test plug by inserting and applying a 1/4 turn to seal

in place. Rated to hold up to 40 feet of head pressure.

Note: Otherwise, proceed by covering the drain base opening with duct tape to keep debris from

entering the drain.
