I installed a 3 piece clamping drain, that is screwed flush to the subfloor.
In my previous discussion, I was looking at the fact that my drain was not set correctly for a mud pan. I then found out about foam preslopes.
The slope has a 2% slope, and cuts to size. I installed this one.
What I'm left with is about 3" around the drain with no preslope.
The edge of my preslope is ~5/8".
My understanding is that the preslope is just to guide the water to the drain, should it get past the pan. I feel like that is setup that way right now, where from the edge, it will slope and drain water down to the weep holes.
My question is, do I need the 3" gap between drain and edge to have something for some kind of support perspective? I'm curious if I were to have a bed over this, that small area would not be 'supported' and don't know if that's a concern at that height/distance. If I need something there to I could likely shave my excess foam (cut when sizing) to fit it, but I'm not going to invest the time if no one thinks it's necessary.
