OATEY 42075 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 42075 No-Calk shower drain connect to 1-1/2 inch pipe, or only 2 inch?
Out of the box the Oatey 42075 is set up for 2 inch Schedule 40 DWV pipe, held by a mechanically compressed gasket with no caulking. Swap the caulking gasket and the same drain body will take 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 DWV, or 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch copper DWV. So if your rough-in is 1-1/2 inch PVC or copper, the drain still works, you just need the right gasket for that size.
2) Can a No-Calk shower drain like the Oatey 42075 be installed on a slab with no access underneath?
That is the case it is built for. The 42075 is tightened to the drain pipe from above the shower base, so you never need to get under the floor to make the connection. Oatey calls it out for slab construction. Compare that to a solvent-weld or caulked lead drain, where you are working from below or packing the joint, which is not an option once the pipe is in concrete.
3) Does the Oatey 42075 work with a preformed fiberglass or acrylic shower base?
Yes, it is made for preformed shower stall bases across the board. The drain body seals to the base with a fiber and rubber washer that compresses against the base as you tighten the drain, so the seal is mechanical rather than caulked. That is what makes it usable on molded pans where you cannot bed a drain in mortar.
4) Do I need a special wrench to tighten an Oatey No-Calk shower drain?
No separate purchase needed. A drain tightening wrench comes in the box with the 42075, which is what you use to draw the compression gasket down onto the pipe from above the pan. Worth knowing on a multi-unit job: each drain arrives with its own wrench, so you are not hunting for a spud wrench on site.
5) Is the Oatey 42075 shower drain PVC or metal, and does that matter for my DWV system?
The 42075 body is PVC, which is why it pairs directly with Schedule 40 PVC DWV pipe with no transition fitting or dielectric concern. If the bathroom is plumbed in copper DWV instead, the same body still serves at 1-1/2 or 2 inch once the caulking gasket is changed out, since the seal is a compression gasket rather than a solvent weld.
6) Is a No-Calk compression drain the right choice, or should I use a solvent-weld shower drain?
Pick by access. A No-Calk drain like the Oatey 42075 makes its pipe connection from above the shower base with a compressed gasket, so it suits slab work and any retrofit where you cannot reach the underside of the pan. A solvent-weld PVC drain glues to the riser and generally wants access from below or a dry fit before the pan is set. If you are dropping a preformed base onto concrete, the compression style is the one that lets you finish the job from inside the shower.
7) How much does an Oatey 42075 shower drain weigh for a bulk order?
Each 42075 drain is half a pound, with a volume of 0.029, so a case quantity for a multi-unit remodel stays light and easy to stage. Ordering is straightforward too: it is a single model, manufacturer part number 42075, so there is no finish or size selection to get wrong on a purchase order.
