Hello,
I have a basement floor drain that is 12" center from the wall. I would like to utilize it as a shower drain since it is already in the floor. The drain is a cast iron (i believe) 8" diameter drain that necks down to 2" or 1.5" from what I can tell. My question is:
Is it acceptable to run a pipe a short distance to get the drain further from the wall so that it would be centered in a new shower as shown in my attached drawing? If that isn't possible could I get a cover that is solid except for a pipe nipple that I could build a concrete shower base around so that concrete wouldn't fall into the drain? Both sketches are in the attached PDF.
