Thanks for showing this detail! I think I’ll keep my former tub drain on the right side rather than centering it. Thanks for helping me make up my mind!😂

Excellent step by step instruction. I have done a shower to shower conversion before with complete demolition and reconstruction but never a move of a drain. This alleviated my apprehension. Great job!

Man, that is a beautiful end of the job look! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge man!

Thanks you so much.. I was thinking of a DIY but now I'll contract out... at least this part..Great job and Info through out...

This couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Thank you

Excellent video. I was going to contract it out, but this tutorial convinced me to tackle the project. My floor was only 4” so hammering it out was easy. Currently, I’m at the cut/measure/glue stage of the new fittings. Thanks a bunch (saved me, possibly hundreds of $)

Back to StarrTile for some soothing builds. Thanks again for helping me thru my bathroom rebuild last year! All is still well!!

Best way to help somebody out. Thanks.

Just what I'm looking for thanks so much ❤❤❤

nice work, great explanation, appreciate your efforts to teach us. a humbled human M.

Cool video! Thanks for sharing! Super helpful!

This little kzfaq.infoUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.

I literally spent 7 days Phucing around with the exact same problem...I didn’t move it in the end....thanks now I know how to do it!.....I’ll be redoing my shower again....in a few years

Thank you. Very helpful.

Great video, thanks

Thanks man you do good videos. Better than most similar ones. Congradulations.

Hey man exact same way I do it. I do this for a living as well and just a FYI, when installing the upper part to your 2 piece drain you can get a whole lot of adjustment using washers on the four bolts to get that drain perfectly level and it doesn’t hurt a thing if you have to have a gap between the upper part of the drain and the liner

I really like your video’s and it has helped me understand most tile guys I run into. That being said in California a running trap or S trap refers when the top of the inside trap arm outlet goes below the weir of the trap between the vent and trap. In your case I think all you did was offset the tailpiece which is the distance between the fixture outlet and the trap. Legally in Cali you can offset the tail piece just like the continuous waste for a kitchen sink is offset for a dual sink. However, the offset can not exceed 24” between the fixture outlet and the trap. As for keeping the offset level with no slope is never a good idea because water will stand and odors will form as well as blockages which I come across a lot. You can still run the horizontal offset tail piece at 1/4”/ft because your DWV 90 will compensate the transition since the degree of slope is roughly 1.15 degrees. That being said it’s always better having the trap as much as possible below the fixture outlet this will help reduce odors and reduce stoppages as well. The trap arm on a 2” between the trap and vent can not exceed 5ft. Lastly tub drain to shower conversation in Cali, the complete trap arm and sanitary tee have to be upsized to 2” to meet code.

Great vid

That looks good bruh

I like to use a 4&1/2" diamond wheel on my grinder to make those cuts... I use it to cut Hardie-board too.

Thank God u made this vid, gotta do my basement bath soon

beatiful work, i just wondering i did cut the concrete slap and repip the drian, can i just leave the hole on the concrete slap? because i need to put shower base on top also do i need to water proof the concrete slap before i lay the base on? thanks Eric

To be honest, I would have the left a drain where it walls and used the invisible trough that goes from one side to the other side and you wouldn’t have to worry about stepping on the drain in the middle of the shower.

Do you need to do anything special on edges of old concrete so new concrete would stick better? Like special glue or such? Thanks

Question... Looking to tile a 4'x3' entry with 12x12 cheap ceramic tiles. Floor is 3/4" tongue and groove oak with 1x8 diagonal plank subfloor that feels solid no squeaks (1926 house). Joists are 1x10 16" on center. Will I be OK screwing down 1/4" hardibacker and then laying the tile? Also plan on using 1-5/8" backer on screws.. No thinset under the cement board. Thanks in advance

What is pouring the pan exactly ? Is that more cement etc?

Is there a specific type of concrete that you put into the hole? Or any type of concrete? Can I use the dry pack that will be used for the pan?

Great video. I wish you would of showed placing the drain and shaping the concrete around it just so people can see the step, as it is important.

Do you need to have it inspected before filling over the new line?

Do you still use the wonder cap? Do you still think it's good? Thank you.

Technically, you just created a running trap. Many codes have this type either illegal or requiring one or more clean outs to allow for unclogging. Most codes forbid any offsets above a trap at all, so even a double 45 offset is illegal. Personally, I'd have dug up the trap and extended the distance between the trap and vent. Check local codes for maximum trap to vent distances.

how about if it is just for same drain and just want to update with new tile and drain,. I have a castiron pipe and whin i turn the pipe with rench, im just turn in circles

Sweet!

Do you have to do a pre-slope underneath the panel liner?

Did this to my shower. Pain in the ass but well worth it.

How did you remove the old drain?

Can you specify what type of internal pipe cutter ('cowboy spur' in video at 8:36 minutes) you used to cut the cast iron drain pipe?

Is there a minimum depth the P-trap needs to be below the drain?

You mention not digging down to add a P trap. Is there a P trap below the existing drain? If its not there wont this allow sewer gases to cup up through the drain?

Any concerns about homes with post tension cables in the foundation? Any risk of hitting those when cutting the concrete?

Is that a harbor freight rotary hammer? I was looking at dewalt, hilti, Mikita, and bosch. They’re wayyyy expensive. I kinda want the next size up because I use them to demo tile and wood. Sometimes up to 1200sqft. Haven’t heard of that brand though

If this job was going to get inspected (with permits and be fully legal) do you think the inspector would be okay with leaving the p-trap where it originally was and just a run a drain pipe to it?

StarrTile, may I ask a laymans question? This is something I do not in general - understand about doing drain systems. There is supposed to be a 'slope' to the drain pipe. either 1/8" per foot, or 1/4" per foot. Where you show the shower drain being fitted and 'leveled' to the short section of drain pipe - you stress the ideal is to have the shower drain be LEVEL. With the shower drain being exactly LEVEL, how is it then possible for the short section of drain pipe to be SLOPED? In other words when the manufacturer created that pipe and long turn 90 degree fitting - I assume that is an EXACT 90 DEGREE fitting. If the fitting is exactly 90 degrees and the top surface of the 90 degree long turn elbow is LEVEL, wouldnt the opposite end be completely HORIZONTAL? as opposed to sloping at 1/8" or 1/4" per foot? And one can see this same question is valid for most any application, draining from a water closet, etc... Can you explain this in laymans terms?

Nice!

I was just wondering why you did not make a 6" curb, possibly an optical illusion. Looks like 3 " curb. I am not sure what state you are in, but I have had problems with a shallow curb.

Not very good couldn’t see the plumbing connection to the existing one

how about a vid on the tools you use regularly or must have tools

Re the tension wire, suppose you come across one on this. How do you work around that?

Do you have a video for moving the kitchen sink more than 2 feet?

Would this be contracted to a plumber or to a construction company?

Rebar in concrete is in the way of p trap for shower should I cut it?

Hello . I installed new shower drain fron the original drain 18 inch. Now the water dont drain

Camera angle was deceiving. That slab looked like 2 " thick. I was shocked when you said 6" . Tell you what ill come remove that for you if youll come give me a game plan for my shower issue. Deal or no deal? Btw hows the kids face doing?

I live in home with a Post Tension Slab. Cutting trough 4,000 PSI concrete and cutting through the cable ties could cause cracks in your slab. Every Garage that has one of these slabs should have a notice stamped into the concrete next to the garage door. Take it from a real contractor, don't mess with a foundation like this!

What happen to the bench? I thought you said there would be a bench

If the new shower is 2 in and old pipe is 1 1/2. Can I put an adaptor on drain, reducing to 1 1/2 and go over to the old drain and p_ trap. The old shower drained ok w/ 1 1/2 pipe. We dont have code where I live.

Did you put a pre-slope in before the liner?

Ptrap for toilet is on the toilet. The water in the bowl is to keep the gasses out.

But how did you cut the existing toilet drain to connect shower drain pipe???

does the drain have to be level with the concrete

What about foundation issues from cutting into foundation with post tension cable slab with beams?

If I was to have a contractor do this, what would be a rough estimate of overall cost for this job?

Roughly how much would a pro charge to do that? And what kind of company does that kind of work? I guess most plumbers don't cut slabs?

Why not cut the tension wires? Can u explain plz

From a concrete perapectice why come am i noy seinh no rebar, or at least mesh wire? Also i would recomend sand on that pipe and coverimg the pipe that touches tje concrete wrapping it around with foam.

why not tunnel over to the new drain location?

Where are you located ??

Why didn't you move the trap?

Peatrap is supposed to be directly under the drain

This is called a running trap not per code would fail inspection .

stick with tile work, its clear you dont know plumbing code. thats arunning trap, good luck if it ever stops up. move the trap, call a plumber.

Where r u located in the Atlanta metro?

Would installing a linear drain work as an alternate solution? Would it be easier?

Talk too much and little demostration

A plumber would have charged thousands but only paid his illegal 100's

Sorry but your trap is too far from your shower drain,all of the drain waste sticking to the pipe ,you will have a bad smell in your shower.
