1 1/2 inch shower drain into cement sub-floor

[Colemc45]

I am trying to update a basement bathroom (build shower pan and tile shower). What is there right now is a 1.5-inch shower drain that is directly into the subfloor (pitched) there was metal sheeting making the walls the shower with a plastic fitted shower stall. I know most shower drains are 2" per code however, do I have any options without breaking up my cement subfloor?

Just curious as to what you ended up doing? Did you have to break up the concrete?

Yes- I rented a small jack hammer and dug out the drain. I cut the cast iron pipe after the p trap and used a Fernco fitting to attach new 2" PVC to the cast iron.

Thank you so much for the update! This is exactly what I have to do with my shower. Looks great!
