4 in. Round Snap-In White PVC Shower Drain

WHY do they put a super-adhesive label right over the drain? You can't just peel it off. Freezing it doesn't work. Heating it doesn't work. Soaking it in soap takes a lot of time. If it weren't for this, I could recommend it.

Does what it is supposed to do. Please find a better way to package this product. You have to battle the sticker to remove it from the holes. It's miserable.

I'm actually using this to finish an exterior sewer vent line that exits out the front of my house and is visible from the street. The vent pipe is old and corroded, but it's thick and still serviceable, so I just needed something to finish it cleanly where it comes through the siding. This floor drain was perfect. Vent pipe inside diameter was slightly smaller than 4" so I had to force the drain in a bit, but I also know it's not going anywhere. Outside diameter of this drain is 4", inside diameter is slightly bigger than 3 5/8"

First of all, let's get the emphasis of the name in the right context. This is a "snap-in" vent - not a cap and therefore infers that while it can be removed, it is intended to be somewhat permanent. Having said that, its use is not necessarily limited to floor drains or other (semi) permanent installations. As the name implies, it snaps in and can reasonably be expected to snap out unless a solvent weld is used. While the most obvious use for this device is insertion into the female end of a 4" floor drain, (elbow, pipe or coupling) it can be used for showers pans with flange sealant and proper grouting. However, because it is not decorative, I would relegate this to utility uses. Most furnace vents for high efficiency units are around 3 inches so this device cannot fit inside dimensions (therefore cannot snap in). However it can still be used as a "cap" for a vent or intake although the inside dimension is about 1/8" larger than the 3" outside pipe dimension. And I would use this as only a non-permanent solution unless screws are used to secure it in place. If one has a 4" schedule 40 vent /exhaust system, this should work just fine particularly where rodents are a problem. I know, I know, it's probably not listed for this, but it does work well and the tradeoff for a rodent free system is worth it. Nothing like finding dead chipmunks in your air intake system. Just don't install it, or any other kind of vent screen where it could clog with snow or debris. You can buy caps (with screens) for this purpose but they are expensive so this is a great alternative. Again, as a cover for 4" DWV pipe, or any other non-pressurized pipe of similar dimension, it can be beat for ease of use and permanence. Just snap it in and you’re done. Inasmuch as it is a drain cover, yard drains should not be overlooked. It will install into a flex "T" but is a bit sloppy. However, that can be made up with a little putty, duct or aluminum tape. A yard drain doesn't have to be particularly water-tight anyway. Just sealed enough to keep debris out. If you are particular, better to convert to a schedule 40 "T" and riser where a drain is located. I have done this in a couple of places in my yard drainage system and it works well. To be sure it is not a universal product, but with a little ingenuity it is surprising how many uses one can find.

This item worked really well!!

Manufacturers placed a sticky sticker over the drain holes. Sticker has to be removed prior to use. Some of the sticker clogged the holes and is a pain and time consuming to remove.
