Round Gray PVC Shower Drain with 4-3/16 in. Square Screw-In Chrome Drain Cover

It worked perfect! Looks great in our new walk in shower!

Cheap and won't last in a permanent installation. Chrome plating peels. Replacment is costly.

The installation wasn't any harder than any other drains. However, included screws rusted less than a year later. I expected screws to be stainless steel or chrome plated brass. However, it is regular steel screw with chrome plating. And the plating was not even thick enough. Now I will have to search for stainless screws to replace. :(

The screws are rusting causing the strainer to stain also. It has been less than 1 year of usage of my newly remodeled shower. We have only used recommended bathroom cleaners. The installation was easy. The shower drain looks great - except foe the rusty screws. I will have to see if I can find new screws.

The rim plastic broke when it was installed tot he new drain.

This drain has standard PVC body for tiled shower base system built with "mud bed" and waterproofing membrane (a layer of mud bed to give pitch towards the drain + waterproofing membrane + mud bed for tile application + tile). I personally prefer round drains over square ones because I have developed a cutting method for round ones and it seems to be easier for me to, just because I can adjust the height of the drain against finished floor, with square one I have to install it and make sure that it will align property with finished surface - not a big deal, just my personal preference. Obviously square drain looks better and goes better with square mosaic tile, that's why in most cases my customers pick square drains for tiled shower floor. The finish part of the drain is made of nice thick metal, it feels good and durable, grate is removable for cleaning and service. Great product, been using it for a long time, totally recommend. Professional installation is recommended because it requires advanced set of skills and knowledge, and experienceas as well.

The OATEY 4-3/16 IN. PVC SHOWER DRAIN WITH CHROME BARREL AND SQUARE CHROME STRAINER is used with tile shower bases. The components are well made from a heavy gauge PVC. The strainer is not flimsy and looks nice. The drain body solvent welds over 2 in. or inside 3 in. schedule 40 pipe. So be sure to pick up primer and solvent to do the welds. The threaded strainer is adjustable to allow for easy height adjustment.

The Oatey 4 3/16 PVC shower drain with chrome Harrell and square chrome strainer in white is a heavy duty and well made shower drain that comes in a square top piece to fit nicely with tile in a shower. This particular shower drain fits either 2” or 3” pipes and either goes inside or outside. It comes with a reversible collar to clamp and secure via heavy duty bolts. The strainer itself is chrome plated and should stand up over time- the holes are small enough to let water pass through but to catch/prevent larger objects from going down the pipes/drain...

I can trust the Oaty 4-3/16 IN. PVC shower drain wit chrome barrel and square chrome strainer in white. Best of both worlds quick and easy install with the plastic and has the wonderful metal that is the look and feel of the drain. Easy install and looks great. Simple design. Compliments many bathroom styles. The down pipe from the drain will fit both 2" and 3" piping, the materials all feel well made. The grate can also be removed via two screws for cleaning if needed.

This drain looks very high end when installed. Installation is the same as almost any shower drain. The easiest way is to use a stub on the drain and a Fernco connector if you have the space and access to connect in that manner. I have the drain set to the correct level and am ready to tile. The level adjustment is easy without tile already in place but, the square drain seems almost impossible to use with existing tile (without damaging tile in the immediate drain area). The actual strainer (decorative top) can be removed for replacement in the future and seems extremely easy to switch out.
