Let's learn how to install a zero clearance inline drain.
For this project, we began with a traditional tub/shower combination. The homeowner needed a shower that had easier access.
Let the demolition begin.
With the tub and walls removed, concrete is cut for a new waste outlet. Existing drain is removed.
The zero clearance shower drain is installed on top of a shower pan liner.
For the full instructions on how to set the pan liner visit the post.

A waterproof membrane was attached to the walls and laps the shower pan membrane.
Wall and floor tiles are set.
Project complete! Now the homeowner has easy and safe access to her shower.

Small shower that is somehow 8” above floor in 60 yr old house. My MS is causing difficulties getting out. We were going to pull out old 3 panel shower and cut pipe to grade. Doesn’t have to be zero clearance. Plumber suggested that a bigger footprint was possible and maybe even better to do. Your thoughts
