OATEY 42045 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 42045 shower drain connect to 2 inch PVC DWV pipe?
Yes. The Oatey 42045 is built to solvent weld over 2 inch PVC DWV pipe, and it is made for Schedule 40 DWV. The connection is solvent weld, so you cement the drain body directly onto the pipe stub. There is no threaded or compression pipe connection to adapt.
2) Can I use this Oatey drain with a preformed fiberglass or acrylic shower base?
That is exactly what it is for. The 42045 is a two part PVC shower drain with a receptor base, intended for preformed shower stall bases. The fiber and rubber washer seals the drain body to the base so the joint is airtight without caulking the pipe connection.
3) Is this shower drain suitable for a slab-on-grade bathroom, or do I need a different type?
Slab construction is the application Oatey calls out for the 42045. Because it solvent welds over the 2 inch pipe rather than into a hub, you can set the shower base after the pipe is already cast in the slab and trim the stub to height. For a mortar-bed tile shower you would want a clamping ring drain with a weep-hole flange instead, not this receptor-base model.
4) Does the Oatey 42045 come with a strainer, or do I have to buy one?
A universal 4-1/4 inch round snap-tite stainless steel strainer is included, and a drain tightening wrench comes in the box as well. The strainer snaps onto the drain body after the drain is installed, so nothing extra is needed to finish the job.
5) Can I swap the stainless strainer for a brushed nickel or bronze cover later?
Yes. The drain top accepts Oatey 4-1/4 inch Universal Snap-Tite strainers, which come in a range of designer finishes and are sold separately. The body stays in place, you just unsnap the stainless strainer and snap the new one on, which is handy if a property manager wants the covers to match other fixtures in the unit.
6) Does the pipe joint on this Oatey drain need caulking?
No caulking at the pipe. The 2 inch PVC Schedule 40 DWV pipe is secured with a mechanically compressed gasket, and the separate fiber and rubber washer handles the seal between the drain body and the shower base.
7) What is the Oatey 42045 drain body made of, and what color is it?
The body is PVC in white, with a stainless steel strainer on top. White PVC is the standard DWV material, so it cements with regular PVC solvent cement and primer. It weighs about 0.65 lb.
8) What Oatey part number should I order for a 2 inch solvent weld shower drain with a stainless strainer?
Order Oatey 42045. That is the manufacturer part number for the 2 inch two part PVC solvent weld shower drain supplied with the 4-1/4 inch stainless steel snap-tite strainer.
