Sioux Chief 821-2AT5A Tile Shower Pan Drain, ABS, 2"
The Sioux Chief 821-2AT5A is a 2" ABS tile shower pan drain built for tiled curbless shower installations where the finished floor needs a continuous, seamless appearance. The drain body is molded in ABS plastic for the drain-waste-vent connection behind and below the finished shower pan, and the tile-in style top allows the installer to set tile directly over the drain grate rather than matching a separate strainer finish to the shower trim. A removable hair strainer is included with the ABS head assembly to catch debris before it enters the waste line, and the overall design is intended for use with any shower decor since there is no visible metal finish to coordinate.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 2" outlet connection sized for rough-in to the shower waste line.
- Durable Construction: Molded ABS plastic body resists corrosion common to metal drain bodies in wet shower-pan environments.
- Removable Hair Strainer: Included with the ABS head assembly to capture hair and debris ahead of the trap and waste line, and can be lifted out for cleaning.
- Tile-In Design: Contemporary tile-in grate style allows the installer to carry tile across the drain opening, creating the look of a seamless tile floor with no visible strainer finish.
- Decor-Independent: Because the tile covers the drain surface, the installer does not need to match the finish of the drain to the shower fixture trim.

Sioux Chief 821-2AT5A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Sioux Chief 821 tile shower pan drain come in PVC as well as ABS?
Both. The ABS version is model 821-2AT5A and the PVC version is 821-2PT5A. Pick the one that matches the DWV piping you are solvent welding to, ABS cement to ABS pipe and PVC cement to PVC pipe. Everything else about the drain, the 2 inch size and the tile-in head with removable hair strainer, is the same between them.
2) What is the difference between the Sioux Chief 821-2AT5A tile-in shower drain and the Watco 9300-PVC-CP Innovator drain?
They finish the shower floor two different ways. The Sioux Chief 821-2AT5A is a 2 inch tile-in shower pan drain with an ABS body, and its grate is designed to be covered with tile so the finished floor reads as continuous with no visible strainer finish. The Watco 9300-PVC-CP is an Innovator 9300 series PVC shower drain with a chrome-plated finish, so the strainer stays visible at the floor and becomes part of the trim you coordinate with the shower fixtures. Choose the 821 when the tile is carried across the drain opening, and the chrome-plated Watco when an exposed metal-finish strainer is wanted.
3) The shower trim is polished chrome and the owner wants the drain to match. Is the Sioux Chief 821 tile shower pan drain the right pick?
No. The Sioux Chief 821 tile shower pan drain is built so tile covers the drain surface, which means there is no visible metal finish to coordinate with the shower trim. If the drain needs to match polished chrome trim, use a drain with a plated strainer instead, such as the Watco 9300-PVC-CP Innovator PVC shower drain, which is supplied chrome-plated.
4) Is the strainer on this drain removable for cleaning out hair?
Yes. A removable hair strainer comes with the ABS head assembly and lifts out, so hair and debris get caught ahead of the trap rather than in the waste line. That matters for property managers and maintenance crews, since a tiled-over drain is otherwise awkward to clear.
5) If the shower waste line is PVC, which drain should be used instead of the ABS Sioux Chief 821-2AT5A?
Sioux Chief offers the same 2 inch tile shower pan drain in a PVC version, part number 821-2PT5A, so the drain body material matches a PVC waste line while keeping the tile-in grate. A PVC alternative with an exposed chrome-plated strainer is the Watco 9300-PVC-CP Innovator shower drain. The deciding factor between the two is whether the finished floor is tiled over the drain or shows a metal strainer.
6) Why choose a plastic shower pan drain body over a metal one?
The 821 body is molded ABS (or PVC on the 821-2PT5A), which does not corrode the way metal drain bodies can in a constantly wet shower pan. It also lets you solvent weld straight into plastic DWV piping instead of transitioning materials under the pan.
7) How is the Sioux Chief 821 tile drain packaged for a multi-unit job?
It is packed 5 each per carton, which suits multi-family and hotel rough-ins where you are setting several identical shower pans at once rather than buying a single drain.
8) Can I use this drain in a commercial bathroom rough-in or is it residential only?
Both. The 821 2 inch tile shower pan drain is intended for residential and commercial bathroom rough-in, new construction tiled showers, and renovations where the floor needs a seamless tile look.
