I have a question on a shower riser that I am working on in my home. Our master shower (tiled) leaked and I am replacing the shower pan. I am going to cut out the old Oatley shower drain and install a Schluter drain.
I want to cut the current riser (2" PVC) on the p-trap. I want to extend the riser with a coupler to allow the Schulter drain to connect in. The current riser above the p-trap is to the bottom of the Oatley drain is 6".
Is it alright to cut the riser and add a coupler to it? I could replace the entire p-trap and use a coupler to the waste line. I never had a problem with the p-trap (smell) and like to reuse it unless I should not ? Don't know if it is a code violation or possible failure in the future. If it is fine to cut and extend with a coupler , is there any suggestions where to place the coupler closer to the top , in the middle , or closer to the bottom of the riser
