Shower Pan


For all you plumbers out there, : Is there any good reason for a plumber to install a copper showerpan A) Before shower is framed. and B) Without a sloped base underneath? My only thought is he wanted to get his inspection and get out.

Re: Shower Pan


How you can do that without framing is beyond me, what the hell did he mount it to?

For that matter, why use copper instead of sheet lead or chloraloy, that is one expensive shower pan.

Around here he would fail his inspection because the pan is not affixed to the surrounding frame, leaving it subject to damage during framing.
