Shower Drain Acrylic Base

[Mat D]

I have acrylic shower base going in over a cement slab in the basement and I'm a the stage of installing the drain and would like to do it right the ''first time''....What kind of drain would you recommend? Someone told me to install the Wingtite drain assembly. It install from the top, so no two part compression gasket etc... What would you recommend?

Thanks,

Mat

I notice that website says " The O-ring allows vertical shower pan movement, preventing stress on the shower drain and pan, which is often the cause of the original drain failure.".

I suggest that you search this site for piles mortar to see if that inspires you. If your acrylic shower pan does not flex as much as some others, that would not present a problem for your proposed drain system, but it would feel better under foot I think.

That one will work.
Oatey makes one with a rubber sleeve that tightens by a compression ring.
Since this is a new pan with a new install, pretty much any would work. The one you mentioned is good if you changing the drain and leaving the pan in place.
