I have used a similar one made by Zircon on wash machine pans, we always throw the compression gasket away and yarn and pour the joint instead.

Ron, I keep 2 on the truck at all times. They are nice and heavy. It makes replacement a sinch. Its almost too easy (compared using something else)
Put it this way, I WILL never be without one.

Yep, replacing a shower drain without a 2nd person makes it a snap.

That is worth looking into! What does "spendy" mean exactly? I have been using Oatey because they seem to be the only brass shower drains available around here but they have a large brass nut that can sometimes be difficult to get tight enough in a replacement situation. With your version, I can make sure that the flange is nice and tight with my cordless rather than trying to get a wrench or pliers (or beat on it with a flat head and hammer) on it.

Price wise

Last time I got one, cost was 30+ but don't quote me on that.

Where do I find this? Locally I have these supply houses: V & W, Ferguson, Southern Pipe, Winnelson, Barnett, GLS, and American Pipe & Supply.

There is one supplier around here who has them. But I get mine from Wolverine. I think I pay 30 to 34 for mine.
