What's the height range of the drain rough-in? That is critical and should be information included in this video.

Save yourself some time:
The pipe needs to be cut 3/4” below the top of the no-caulk drain when the shower pan with the drain installed is in place. Mark around the top, take the pan off, measure 3/4” below your mark, and cut there. Also note that the plumbers putty should NOT be used on ABS or if your pan is plastic. What do they recommend? Caulk. So good luck, I went with an idiot comment here saying to cut the pipe flush with the finished floor. NOPE- that’s way too short. Now I get to redo all my ABS drain pipe I also had to redo the drain it’s self after learning putty will eat away at it and cause a reaction and leak . PITA.

Thank you. This makes it much easier to visualize how to put it all together. I hope placing the shower pan will go as smoothly.

I don't think mine is an Oatey brand, but it worked exactly the same. I'd been trying to figure out how to get that stupid drain cover for weeks. I kept spinning it, thinking it probably is installed with a tool, so I was improvising.

Around the 1:07 mark in the video, it shows the drain a tiny bit elevated on the shower pan, this will cause water to pool around the drain, is this expected?

that is easy with everything out... make an actual repair video where you dont have access from the bottom !

How far into the barrel should the PVC pipe extend? Is there a recommended range (not lower than x nor higher than y)?

Yes, this video is quite useless without info on what height the PVC pipe should be below the top of the flange. My measurements show something around 5/8" below the top of the flange. Maybe 11/16".

Can silicone be used instead of the putty? Or is that ONLY acceptable for the ABS model?

NO!!! APPLY A 1/2" BEAD RTV 100% SILICONE. PUTTY WILL SPLIT AND LEAK.
