This is intended for new construction but if you have the same type already installed the top portion is threaded into the part that is solvent welded to the drain pipe that is under your shower pan. You can simply unscrew the old unit and screw in the new one. Or you can remove the stainless drain cover and use to to replace your old one as long as they are both 4 ¼ in. I used the strainer to replace a damaged and badly discolored one, it fit perfectly.
Everything I need is a short distance away or also online!!

Bad design for leak proof installation
This is a terrible design of a shower drain. The lower part had 4 gaps in the thread which allowed the water to flow up when a clog happened, or too much water filled the drain and created a pool. The water would sip up through the under-gasket and leak out to the underside. There is no functional purpose for these 4 gaps in the thread. They should be threads completely then using Teflon tape would seal the upper part and lower part. This is a terrible design for a shower drain.

Very easy to install, but I had to return it to get an offset drain but as far as the product goes very well-made, much better than some of the old ones. We have been in business as long as I have you notice these little things. Thanks.
