How to add 2-part drain to cast iron pipe in shower?
rtc_frtc asked:
After major water damage, which included two rooms and a closet, coming from a long-existing leak in shower pan, we removed everything down to the studs. What’s left is the cement foundation with what looks like a cast iron pipe drain coming from cement foundation.
Hubby lost his job so we are going to have to do most of the work ourselves. Researched mortar, sloped shower pans and feel confident we can do it.
Our concern is what to attach to the existing cast iron pipe to give us a two-part drain?
I’m good at PVC/cutting/gluing/attaching and my husband is good at copper solder. We are just not sure what to add to the old hunk of metal pipe/drain coming out of the cement.
Any help to get us started will be greatly appreciated!
Did I mention how tired I am of showering outside or in the garage this past 5 weeks? *smile*
I do have photos of the damage/shower area/drain coming up from the cement foundation but I don’t know how to attach the photos to my post.
