OATEY 42251 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 42251 shower drain fit 2 inch or 3 inch PVC pipe?
The Oatey 42251 drain body works with either 2 inch or 3 inch PVC drain line, so you don't have to know which size is in the floor before you buy. The body is PVC, so it solvent welds to PVC pipe only, not to ABS. If the rough-in is ABS, order the ABS version of the drain instead.
2) How do I adjust the drain height for the thickness of my mortar bed and tile?
Height comes from the clamping collar, which is reversible and adds 1 inch of height when flipped. That lets you set the strainer flush with a thicker mortar bed and tile build-up, or run it low for a thin assembly. The collar also carries double weep holes and weep channels so water trapped in the mortar bed drains out rather than sitting under the tile.
3) How does the Snap-Tite strainer on the Oatey 42251 attach, and can I pull it for cleaning?
It's a snap-in strainer, not a screw-in one. The square brushed nickel grate presses into the drain body and pops back out by hand for clearing hair and debris, with no screws to back out. Oatey also builds the same drain family with screw-in grates if you want the cover mechanically fastened down, which some owners prefer in rentals.
4) Is a tile ring included with the Oatey 42251, or do I buy that separately?
A beauty tile ring is included. It sits at the finished floor and protects the grout line around the strainer, so you aren't sourcing a separate trim ring to close out the tile edge.
5) Does the Oatey 42251 come with a test plug for pressure testing the rough-in?
The 42251 is specified as a complete drain with the square brushed nickel Snap-Tite strainer. Oatey offers this drain family both with and without test plugs, plus rough-only and finish-only part numbers, so if you need the test plug for inspection, order the with-test-plug SKU in the same family rather than assuming it's in the box.
6) I'm standardizing shower drains across a building but the finishes vary by unit. What matches the Oatey 42251?
The 42251 is the square grate in brushed nickel. The same Oatey drain line is built in round or square grates and in polished stainless steel, brushed nickel, and oil rubbed bronze, so you can keep one drain body and rough-in approach across the property and change only the finish component to match each unit's trim package.
