827-2J Jackrabbit Shower Drain

This worked out great. It has been a week since I installed it and I have not had any issues. The ones I found at big box stores were not as good as this one.

Worked perfectly for my application with new shower with access from crawl space

Life saver!!!

Solid and great for small spaces seems like it will last a long time.

Been waiting so that we can replace the drain because it looks easy enough to install. Received it today and it is missing a screw. SMH. Now I have to go to a hardware store find a screw that fits

The Good:Helps when you cannot get a pipe wrench around a large nut to tighten from below. Mine was in between the trusses and very close to one side. Being able to use a socket wrench made it a snap to install.It is well constructed and should last for a very long time. The fact it is made out of brass means it can be redone unlike the iron one that I removed that had rusted so bad it was falling apart where the pipe goes through.The Instructions were easy to follow.NOTE:I used silicone in the following places:1. When setting the flange into the base of the shower from above.2. Between the washer and the shower base from below.3. Around the pipe when pushing it through instead of plumbers putty.4. I ran a bead of silicone around the outside top and outside bottom between the pipe and the inside of the drain hole to make sure nothing gets around the pipe.I let the silicone dry for 1 day and was able to use the shower again after that. I was liberal with the silicone since the base of the shower has a very small amount of flex which will keep it from generating a leak over time. If you use silicone, make sure you clean off the excess from the top so it doesn't block where you attach the drain cover.The Bad:None

The only thing I know about drains is that it makes things go...AWAY. As you can probably imagine, I had no interest in picking out a specific drain until I was installing a new shower. When I met with the plumber, he told me to purchase this one. When I compared it with the rinky-dink drain that came with the shower, I was duly impressed with the quality and durability.The plumber installed it and it looks fantastic! I couldn't be happier with something that makes my shower water go away.Oh, apparently this drain is stupid-easy to install too. At least, that's what the plumber told me.

If you have underneath access to the old flange, use a dremel to cut the old ring off and pry the old ring off. This new flange is perfect for tight spaces and VERY easy to install a water tight seal the FIRST time. Highly recommended.
