Hi guys my name is j and I've been lurking on here for a while.
I'm getting ready to grout and was cleaning my stone mosaic shower floor today. I left my oatey stopper in after I leak tested my kerdi shower...figuring I'd prevent debris going down the drain.
This evening after cleaning the shower floor I had a bit of water sitting in the drain the stopper. I turned the wing nut release too far and everything except the top of the oatey gripper plug went down the drain. All I got out was the red cap and the wing nut.
I couldn't see anything when I took my shop light and shined it down there. Without thinking it through I decided to take about 10 gallons of water and flush the drain out. The drain takes a 5 gallon bucket of water down as fast as I dump it... So I guess that's good.
What are your thoughts on this? I have the kerdi drain tying into a 3 inch abs with a pea trap....it then ties into my toilet. The shower is in the basement. There is no access from below.
So I guess what I'm asking is can that oatey lower flush through my drainage system or did I f up really bad?
