PLEASE READ!!!! How to install a Solvent weld drain in a fiberglass shower
I have finished moving all of my supply line and I am now working on the installing the drain on my recent weekend project. One problem---how? The shower base is out and fully accessible. I have an Oatey solvent weld 2" fiberglass drain and all the right stuff. I know that the rubber and fiber gasket go under the shower but what do you use on the floor of the shower?
I tried using plumber putty but it would allow the drain to lower enough in to the floor (I think I had way to much on). The only other thing I can think of is using a clear silicon caulk to adhere the drain to the floor. Can plumbers putty even be used with fiberglass? Any advise will help. Thanks!
