Looking for for advice as I've had some conflicting info from different plumbers who have come to the house. I'm doing a master bath remodel and switched from a tub/shower combo to a curbless shower.
The shower will have a Schluter 68" linear drain body. My drain line is only 1.5" and it's on a second level, so switching it all out to 2" would be pretty extensive work.
My understanding on the reason 1.5" was ok in a tub, was the ability to hold a little water that wasn't draining as fast as a 2". Does the Schluter drain body give this same idea? Would a 2" to 1.5" bushing on the Schluter drain be ok or should I change it all out to 2" at a pretty big price.
The shower will have two shower heads, both 2.5 gpm.
