Hi Everyone,
Appreciate you taking the time to read my question! I recently purchased a house and set about converting a basement bathroom, which previously had a cast iron claw foot tub, into a walk in shower . The previous tub had a drain that was just shoved into the rough opening and not sealed properly. Think of the rough drain being a female fitting and then they used just a smaller diameter pipe for a male type fitting.
The images show the roughed in drain im trying to use for a walk in shower drain. Since I am new at the shower pan game I purchased a "goof proof" shower system (please don't laugh) and this is when I realized a standard shower drain does not fit around the pipe and that there should also not be concrete poured around the pipe. It appears there is definitely a p-trap so I have that going for me but I am stuck with what type of system to use for the drain.... http://imgur.com/a/IZ9jr
