OATEY 42788 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the 1-1/2 in. offset on the Oatey 42788 shower drain actually solve?
The 42788 drain body shifts the outlet 1-1/2 inches off center, so you can land on an existing 2 inch drain line when a joist is in the way or the slab penetration didn't come out where the shower base opening sits. It's the fix when moving the joist or recoring the slab isn't an option.
2) Will the Oatey 42788 connect to 2 inch ABS DWV pipe, and does it need a coupling?
It solvent welds directly over 2 in. ABS DWV pipe, no coupling needed. The connection is solvent weld only, so it pairs with ABS cement and ABS pipe. If your stack is PVC, this is the wrong drain for it.
3) Can I use this drain with a tile shower pan or a liner?
No. The 42788 is built for preformed shower stall bases, sealing to the receptor with a fiber and rubber washer. A mortar-bed tile shower with a PVC or CPE pan liner needs a clamping ring drain with weep holes instead, not this receptor-style body.
4) Is a strainer included with the Oatey 42788, and what size is it?
A 4-1/4 in. round snap-tite stainless steel strainer ships with the drain. It snaps onto the drain body after the body is installed and sealed, so you set the drain first and press the cover in last.
5) Can I swap the strainer for a brushed nickel or bronze cover later?
Yes. The drain top accepts any Oatey 4-1/4 in. Universal Snap-Tite strainer, which come in a range of designer finishes. Those covers are sold separately, so order the finish you want alongside the drain if you're matching other trim in the unit.
6) How does the Oatey 42788 seal against the shower base so it doesn't leak?
A fiber washer and a rubber washer clamp the receptor base to the shower pan for an airtight seal at the pan opening. That's the sealing surface, so the pan's drain hole has to be clean and flat where the washers bear.
7) What color and material is the Oatey 42788 drain body?
Black ABS for the body and receptor, with a stainless steel strainer on top. Property managers doing repeat unit turns get a consistent look with the standard stainless cover, or can spec a different Snap-Tite finish per unit.
8) What is the manufacturer part number to order this Oatey offset shower drain?
Oatey part number 42788. Quote it as the 2 in. offset ABS shower drain with stainless steel strainer so it isn't confused with a straight, non-offset receptor drain.
