Thank you for the tip on a trusted brand. It's hard to choose from all the different price points from the big box store items. I think an integrated seat at the back of the unit might be a good idea because the roof in our bungalow style house really keeps you from standing at that end of the shower anyway. And there are a lot of reasons people might need to sit in the shower too.

Thanks for sharing the tips. The Brand he recommends is E L Mustee, made in the USA

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. Can anyone catch a break in this world from the snarky comments! Products of their environment I'm guessing.

What if I want to use a standard type oatey drain with the model from Mustee that you've shown?

[SANTANAPBJ]

Where can you purchase the drain seal ?

Does the shower pan go tightly between the studs? I have a 36x36 opening and wondering if I should get a 36x36 shower base.

[donportee]

can I put this down on an existing floating floor

[robertmuckle]

Where can we get the donut seal for my (3" inside dia) fiat drain? The plumbing associate at Home depot had no clue what this integrated drain setup was!

Is it okay to have 3/4” plywood as my subfloor following with 1/2 durock and then the shower pan? Or should I put it directly on subfloor. Thank you in advance!

How do I hook up the existing drain if it is not pvc. It appears to be brass or coper

[glennlienhop]

Most people choose a shower base based on price
I would never but they do and cry later
