I'm installing a 36" Sterling Ensemble Curve Vikrell shower receptor on a slab foundation. The existing cast-iron shower drain is about 2" out-of-line with the new receptor, so I've opened up the floor and will cut the old p-trap and install a new ABS trap with a shielded coupling.
Seems like there's little wiggle room once the new ABS line is put in and the slab is patched up -- that pipe will have to line-up with the base perfectly. Any suggestions on how to make sure it lines up just right? I just thought that maybe I should leave about a 2" opening around the ABS where it comes up out of the floor so I could ease the pipe a bit -- does that sound right?
