Gutted 50 year old shower. Bought the Quick Pitch System and 40 mil and thought I was good to go. The issue: the old shower pan is over 2" of concrete. If I install the new drain, it will be over 4 inches high. I am worried that is way to much weight to add that much mortar. The existing drain is a 2" male brass connector. Most new shower drains are slip on PVC. That requires a female PVC to slip on. I see no way to install a new drain short of removing all the previous concrete and starting over. And that is a bummer. The previous pan has not leaked in over 50 years. So I am thinking of just tiling over the pan and calling it a day. Opinions? options? Here is a pic of the pan.
