Thank you, great video!

Thank you for that long detailed explanation. I will be building my first ever shower pan so this information was very helpful.

Good, long winded detailed explanation. Getting ready to do my first one. Thank you sir.

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you sir!!!

Thanks for explaining the recessed drain part. This was very helpful.

Outstanding explanation, so helpful, thank you!

Do you have to use a pan liner if using Hardie Backer board when waterproofing the board with a paint on waterproofer such as ARDEX. How would you then seal over the drain flange so the waterproofing coat system goes into the drain ?

Great explanation. Thank you so much

Oateys video says to cut 4 1/2” hole for the flange so the lip sits flush with the floor.

Bob... That Kohler drain in your video has no mounting holes in the lower flange. Did you leave the drain assembly floating and then allow the mortar to captivate the drain, or did you glue/add screws to mount the drain to the subfloor before pouring mortar?

Why are there different bottom flanges? The one in the video is smaller without holes. I have also seen ones that are larger and have four holes in the flange around the perimeter. Does one have a different application than the other?

Thanks for the explanation! Really helped me!.

It's actually better to cut out the entire circle and not just the "X" reason being is if you leave the "Flaps" in the pan liner it will create a seal between the hub (second piece you push in) and in most cases will not allow much water to escape if and when water seepage does occur. Best way is to cut out entire circle and apply caulk to the underside of pan liner where it meets drain. (I have tested this on a makeshift bed and filled an entire pan full of water with and without the "X" and the result was night and day in drainage from the pan liner through weeper channels.)

Should i put concrete on sub wood..then my liner??

Thank you!

Yes, exactly what i needed .

My house is constructed in cement so my bathroom shower is all cement, floor and wall. Also the lip to the shower is made of cement. Same principle for installing pan lining and redgard for final tile installation.

Is it the same if using with hot mop?thank you

I found that after installing and tightening my upper shower flange mount, its crushing the membrane I used and is blocking the weep troughs on the underside of the upper mount. Water will sit up to the level of the upper mount and not drain out. Would it be wise to try and cut slots in the membrane to match where the weep troughs are?

If someone may please give me some advice. I have a stand up shower with mosaic tiles on the floor and big square tiles on the walls. It's in my master bedroom and leaking downstairs living room. I broke walls and i should not have, but non the less, i confirmed the piping is good and no leaks. i put duct tape very well at the drain of the shower inside on the floor. I filled it up from another source with water up to the curb or step almost. It's dripping downstairs. Is there another test to let me know if my pan liner is shot, or my grout is leaking? When i visually look at it, the grout looks ok. Silicone around the edges looks ok. Any ideas? Only thing i can think of, is not filling it up all the way and see when it starts to leak as i fill it. Any help would save our family so much money. Thanks so much.

thank you

Great vid. Btw do you do radiant heat floor systems(wire heat)? I am researching the best(the most practical, UN-convoluted) methods for both floor and shower pans.

Question about determining outside height of pre-pitch in a rectangular shower. Do we simply determine to height at the furthest point from the drain and draw level line from that? It seems that would make the shorter distances much steeper than the 1/4" per foot determined at the furthest point (corner). Or do we change the height accordingly as we go around the outside of the pan area, to maintain the 1/4" per foot pitch consistently? [did that make any sense?]

My three piece drain flange in the concrete has 3 bolt holes and the top piece has no weep holes or trenches, do they even make three bolt top pieces with weep holes anymore or do i have to cut them out myself?

Hi there, Do you have a video about linear drainage for the basement? Your videos are awesome and extremely helpful. thank you

Do you glue that style in after your bevel cut? I notice it didn't have screw holes .

Pan liner then mud base or mud base and then pan liner. I keep hearing and seeing different explanations. What do you think ?

So does the lip have to sit flush with the floor(concrete) of raised so the mortar pre slope can go under a bit. None of the videos I can find who clearly explain it. 🤷🏻‍♂️. Much appreciated!

question : are the part interchangeable can oatey be used with Webang drain from amazon ?

Can we use abs glue to conect it to the drain pipes?

I think a trim router with a round over bit is the best way to bevel the edge of the circle

Does that threaded part need thread tape or pipe dope ? How tight does it need to be ?

So what happens if water backup in your drain, will it get through the weeping holes and get into your pan?

what is the best tile to use on the shower pan?

Can the last threaded part of the drain remove later on?

Mine is gray from Home Depot and says abs and gray pvc on it do I just use abs glue

☝️👌👍

buy a tripod !

Not a compas- it’s a protractor

Compass - protractor ; not the same

Cutting your plywood on an angle like that defeats the whole purpose of mounting it in plywood. You're putting those mounting screws into about a 1/4" thickness of wood, they're not doing crap. And your whole explanation about doing that, so water that has left the pan can drain is completely ridiculous. The only thing you've done is compromised the stability of your drain. (glue or no glue)

To much BLA..BLA...BLA.... I want to see...!

After watching a half-dozen or so of your videos I see that you talk a lot about problems without providing a basis for what you are talking about. For instance, in this video you go on about "some people cut an X, but some people cut a circle and you don't understand why some people cut a circle........" and on for a while. I see this kind of talk in many of your videos. I have no idea what you are talking about cutting -- all I know is that you don't like how some people cut it, whatever it is. Most of your videos seem to be about what was done wrong. Do you have any videos on how to do it right -- start to finish?

HOW TO PUT THE DREAN WHEN THE FLOOR IS MADE OF CEMENT THERE IS NO PLAYBOY

I am a DIYer and you talk off track alot. I left your other video in search of shorter

God you talk too much. Just go to the points rather beating around yhe bush. It is frustrating. I guess you can't help to stop yourself ha.
