Hello, I am trying to finish the basement bathroom for my inlaws but seem to have encountered a problem. I was going to install a Maxx shower kit and in the instructions it says the shower drain pipe must be plumb. When I look at the rough-in pipe coming out of the concrete it is definitely not plumb. I have attached a photo with a level. I am guessing that the reason it must be plumb is so the drain will seal against the base. I imagine that a gasket can handle some variability but this looks like quite an angle. Is there a solution for this or what would the builders have been expecting somebody to do when they went to finish it? We are not actually fussy about what gets installed (shower, tub) but I figured a shower kit would be easiest. The pipe is centered about 14.5” from each wall and the kit calls for 12” but I figured I could just frame out a bit.
thank you.
