OATEY 42404 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 42404 shower drain connect to 2 inch or 3 inch PVC pipe?
Both. The Oatey 42404 is a PVC shower drain that takes either 2 inch or 3 inch pipe, and the connection is solvent weld, so it cements directly to PVC DWV pipe. There is no threaded or compression joint to make up.
2) Can the Oatey 42404 drain be used with ABS pipe?
No. The 42404 body is PVC and it is a solvent weld joint, so it belongs on a PVC DWV system. Oatey builds the same drain family in ABS as well, so for an ABS shower waste line you want the ABS version rather than this one.
3) How much height adjustment does the Oatey 42404 shower drain give me for my mortar bed?
The clamping collar on the 42404 is reversible, and flipping it adds 1 inch of height. That lets you set the strainer to the finished floor over a thicker mortar bed or tile buildup without shimming the drain body.
4) Does this Oatey shower drain handle water that gets through the tile into the mortar bed?
It does. The clamping collar carries double weep holes and weep channels, so water that migrates through grout and mortar drains back into the waste line instead of sitting in the bed. That is the weeping path a tiled shower needs when the pan liner is clamped under the collar.
5) What does the strainer on the Oatey 42404 look like and how does it attach?
It is a round Ultrashine PVD polished brass strainer with a Screw-Tite attachment, meaning the strainer threads into the drain rather than snapping in. Screw-in gives you a positive hold and lets you set the strainer flush with the tile.
6) I need a different finish than polished brass for a run of shower remodels. What else does this Oatey drain family come in?
The 42404 is the round, screw-in, polished brass Ultrashine PVD version. The same Oatey drain family is configured in square or round strainers, snap-in or screw-in, and in polished stainless steel, brushed nickel, or oil rubbed bronze, so you can standardize the rough on PVC across a property and vary the finish trim by unit.
7) Does the Oatey 42404 come with a test plug?
Oatey sells these drains as complete units both with and without test plugs, and also as separate rough components and finish components. If you need the test plug for pressure testing the waste line before the pan goes in, specify the with-test-plug configuration, because the 42404 is the complete drain with the round polished brass Screw-Tite strainer.
8) Can I order just the finish trim for an Oatey shower drain already set in the slab?
Oatey splits this drain line into rough components and finish components, so the strainer and trim can be bought separately from the body. On a retile where the PVC body is already cemented in, you order the finish component in the strainer style and finish you want rather than the complete 42404 unit.
9) Is there anything in the Oatey 42404 drain to keep the grout line around the strainer from breaking up?
Yes, these Oatey drains include a beauty tile ring that sits over and protects the grout at the strainer perimeter. It covers the cut edge of the tile so the joint around the drain does not crack out over time.
10) What exact Oatey part number do I order for the round polished brass screw-in PVC shower drain?
Order Oatey 42404. That number covers the PVC body for 2 inch or 3 inch pipe with the round Ultrashine PVD polished brass Screw-Tite strainer.
11) What is the shipping weight of the Oatey 42404 PVC shower drain?
The 42404 weighs 1.104 lb with a volume of 0.1, which matters when you are pulling a pallet quantity for a multi-unit bath renovation. It is a light single-carton item per drain.
