New build

10 years ago

Hi, I will soon be building a small house in the beach area. I love these drain covers. However, not sure what size the drains will be. SInce the covers I am interested are low in inventory, could I purchase and have easily retrofitted? or should I ensure the drain pipe would fit the cover? Thank you,
Joyce

Indian99... buy them! Drain fittings and sizes are pretty standard. Just be sure to show your covers to your plumber, tile professional and plumbing supply people prior to them starting work so every one is on the same page. Good communication is key!

^ Is correct, you can pretty much go with any size and if your plumber/contractor is that good, he'll know how to make it work. If you want to make it easier we do offer a full drain kit which includes everything your plumber would need, all you have to find out is if you have ABS/PVC or if he will be hot mopping your shower.
