SUBSCRIBE Learn how to tile the right way.
How do you determine the height of the shower drain in a bonded shower system that uses a bonding flange. In this case a FloFx drain assembly. In this video I show you how to figure out how to find the height of the mud for the sower drain bonding flange. All tile installed by Sal DiBlasi, Elite-tile Company, in the Boston North Shore area.

I've watched probably every single video of Sal building a mud pan, it never gets old watching the best in the business effortlessly build another perfect project. Thank you Sal for continuing to share your expert knowledge with us.

Forever grateful for Sal’s videos. Helped me establish skills needed for building showers and tile work. No failures since starting up in 2009.

The hole on the subfloor is much bigger than flofx flange drain outlet, so there is a gap between the outlet and the edge of the hole. Do you fill the gap up? Or will the gap cause mud bed movement in future?

Sal, level those from diagonal corner to corner, it will be faster

I think this drain is good but it needs a hair cather like Ebbe drains, also the finish grout around the drain is prety thick or wider than the grout on the tiles

Good video! I always tape off my bottom piece with duct tape and cut it really nice to keep all the mud away from the drain. should that be done with bonding flamges to keep the mud off of the actual felt until you're ready to connect the actual membrane to it? And if so, which tape would you use?

Appreciate you Sal for making this video. Is your target drain height 1 1/4 in? What if you were on a concrete floor, would the height be less?

@SalDiBlasi 4 ай бұрын

Usually the same, but depending on the type of mud, could be less.

Sal, im a DIYer. I see that you use multiple different systems, kerdi, latticrete. What would you recommend as the easiest system? I’m planning on doing a mud base slope to my drain and waterproofing and then tiling.

@ismaelcarrerojr7124 4 ай бұрын

Hey Sal what type of screws you used to hold down flange? Thank you again.

@SalDiBlasi 4 ай бұрын

They are laticrete screws, the head is a bit smaller than the durock screws.

3 bathrooms I’ve been to so far (this month) have had their drains situated flush with the wooden subfloor.. Any tips for what to do in prefloat situations - can you still prefloat or does the drain have to be redone?

@SalDiBlasi 4 ай бұрын

I am guessing those were two stage drains, not a bonding flange type like the ones I use. They should have a preslope, liner and then final mud bed. Bonding flange has a single mud bed.

Sal I see screws in your cement board lower than three inches above floor, is that ok? I always hear people say dont embed screws in mud bed. Your thoughts?

@SalDiBlasi Ай бұрын

This is a bonded system has no effect on waterproofing.

@thomasrose6629 4 ай бұрын

Do you have anything against slurry coating the floor before the mud instead of tar paper/wire when you’re waterproofing it anyways? Or is just a personal preference?

Supposed to be an unbonded mud bed on plywood, bonded on concrete.

What's the minimum mud depth under the drain flange if working on single sheet of plywood sub-floor? I'm trying to go curbless. I have 1.5 inches of difference between the shower and the rest of the bathroom floor. The shower 72 x 38 inches, which gives me about 32 inches the long way to each wall from the edge of the drain flange. That would put me right at 1/4 slope per foot if the top of the flange is 3/4 inches off the floor. I'd have to go less than 3/4 inches of mud under the flange to make this work.

@TsiRoadkill 5 күн бұрын

You want a inch of mud there but you could get away with like 7/8 and 1/8 per foot slope

Hello. I know it's overkill, but could I theoretically put a oatey pvc pan liner in and then put a membrane over the mudbed, if i could find the right parts to fit togather?

@SalDiBlasi 4 ай бұрын

Don't do that.
