Hi all,
I need to build a drain for a 2nd floor 3'x6' utility closet. The closet contains a condensing hot water heater and hydronic radiant distribution plumbing.
I'd like to make the whole closet floor into a sloped waterproof pan with a drain in the middle. Is there a recommended design for this?
Since it's just for emergency use, I imagine an adequate method would be to use thinset on top of the plywood deck to slope the floor to the drain, then top with a waterproof coating. Or should I go with a full up shower base type arrangement with a membrane?
Any suggestions on the design and specific floor drain type to use?
Thanks,
Hazel
